About this map

The Snake River carves a complex boundary between Oregon and Idaho on this 2014 survey, defining a landscape dominated by riparian islands and an extensive irrigation network. Large landmasses like Morton Island, McPhersons Island, and Perrin Island sit within the river's channel, while the surrounding plains are etched with vital waterways including the Farmers Cooperative Canal, A Line Canal, and Noble Canal. This area marks a significant junction of three counties—Malheur, Payette, and Canyon—centered around the communities of Nyssa and Fruitland.

Transportation and infrastructure are prominent, with the Lemons Field Airport and Bybee Field Airport serving the region alongside the Nyssa River Park Boat Ramp. The map details the transition from the river bottomlands, such as Whitley Bottom, into the rising gulches of the uplands, including Big Whitley Gulch and Ashlock Gulch. This document provides a clear look at the agricultural and aviation footprint of the Treasure Valley region in the early 21st century.
