1974 Map of Olds Ferry SE

About this map

The Snake River carves through the lower portion of this mid-1970s orthophotograph, marking a sharp contrast between the irrigated agricultural grid and the high desert terrain to the north. This visual record, based on aerial photography from July 1974, reveals the precise geometry of crop circles and rectangular fields that define the river valley's development. North of the river, the landscape ascends toward the distinct peak of Kelly Mountain, characterized by complex drainage patterns from Warm Springs Creek and Scott Creek. The imagery allows for a detailed study of land use along the border of Idaho and Oregon, showing the extent of cultivated land reaching toward the more arid, dissected uplands near Jonathan.
