About this map

Marsing anchors the southern banks of the Snake River in this 2010 depiction of the agricultural borderlands between Owyhee and Canyon counties. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of irrigation, where the Deer Flat Low Line Canal and Mora Canal support a patchwork of orchards and fields. To the west, Clarks Island and Smiths Island divide the river's flow near the rural community of Central Cove.

Elevation changes are marked by prominent volcanic features such as Lizard Butte and Pickle Butte, which rise above the valley floor. The map records the intersection of regional history and transportation, from the northern settlement of Huston to the aviation footprint at Symms Airport. Local genealogists will find value in the specific road names like Chicken Dinner Rd and the proximity of established communities like Sunnyslope and Riverside.
