1952 Map of Olds Ferry

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

The Snake River carves a path through the borderlands between Idaho and Oregon, defining the rugged geography of the Slaughterhouse Range and Dead Indian Ridge. This early 1950s survey documents the deep historical layers of the river crossing, noting the Original Site Olds Ferry alongside a later Olds Ferry (Abandoned) location. The legacy of westward migration is prominent, with the Old Oregon Trail Highway and multiple Oregon Trail Mon points tracing the path of early pioneers. Industrial activity is visible in the operation of the Union Pacific railroad and a solitary Coal Mine tucked into the slopes of Indian Head Mtn. Downstream, the river landscape is punctuated by Huffman Island and Cobb Rapids near the small settlement of Darrows, while the Old Oregon Trail Highway skirts the river's Farewell Bend.
