About this map

Hells Canyon and the winding corridor of the Snake River define the western reaches of this 1980 survey, where the Brownlee Reservoir and The Oxbow illustrate the significant hydroelectric developments at Oxbow Dam. This region of central Idaho and eastern Oregon is a landscape of profound verticality, transitioning from the river depths to the high peaks of Cuddy Mtn and the West Mountains.

Settlement patterns follow the fertile corridors of Long Valley and the Weiser River, connecting towns like McCall, Donnelly, and Council. The influence of the Union Pacific railroad is evident, providing a vital link for communities such as Cambridge and Goodrich. This map captures the area before modern shifts in land use, showing several small settlements like Roseberry and Indian Valley alongside established infrastructure like the McCall Airport and the expansive Cascade Reservoir.
