USGS Topo · Published 1893About this map
Mountain Home serves as the primary hub of activity in this 1889 survey of Elmore County, situated where the high desert plains meet the rising foothills. The town’s development is tied directly to the Oregon Short Line Union Pacific Railroad, which cuts diagonally across the landscape toward the small siding at Cleft. The terrain transitions from the open flats of the Snake River Plain into a complex network of canyons and plateaus to the north, including the high grazing lands of Smith Prairie and the edge of the Camas Prairie.
