1951 Map of Moores Hollow

About this map

The Snake River defines the northern boundary of this 1951 landscape, serving as the state line between Idaho and Oregon where Westlake Island and McRea Island sit amidst the current. South of the river, the terrain of Malheur County transitions from the level agricultural expanse of Weiser Flat into a complex network of arid draws and ridges. A distinct irrigation system is visible on this sheet, including the Owyhee Canal and Upper Ditch, which redirect water into the valley. The presence of several Windmills and named water sources like Wickup Springs and King Spr underscores the vital role of water management in this ranching country. Local transportation is represented by a grid of rural routes including Annex Road and Elm Road, alongside the diagonal track of a Pipe Line cutting through Moores Hollow.
