2011 Map of Olds Ferry

About this map

Brownlee Reservoir dominates this borderland landscape between Oregon and Idaho, where the Snake River winds through high desert terrain. The area is defined by its transit history, anchored by Olds Ferry and the curve of Farewell Bend, historically significant points for river crossings and overland travel. To the west, the Slaughterhouse Range rises above the water, while the Huntington Independent Order of Odd Fellows Cemetery provides a specific touchstone for genealogical research in the vicinity of Blakes Junction. The map details the complex shoreline and islands of the reservoir, including Rock Island and Darrows Islands, alongside irrigation features like the McBride Ditch. Prominent landforms such as Indian Head Mountain and Dead Indian Ridge overlook the corridor where modern infrastructure, like the Benson Interchange, meets the geography of Coal Mine Gulch and Wheel Gulch.
