2017 Map of Nyssa

About this map

Snake River channels carve through the landscape along the Oregon-Idaho border, defining a complex system of islands and fertile bottomlands. This 2017 survey details the intensive irrigation network that supports the region's agriculture, featuring the Noble Canal, Farmers Cooperative Canal, and A-Line Canal. The settlement of Nyssa anchors the southwest corner along the Union Pacific railroad line, while Fruitland sits to the northeast. Between them, the river creates distinct landforms such as McPhersons Island and Morton Island. The map records a modern look at the industrial and agricultural interface, where features like Whitley Bottom and Lemons Field sit adjacent to growing residential grids. It provides an essential record for understanding the modern water management and land divisions across Malheur Co and Payette Co.
