1952 Map of Olds Ferry

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

Snake River navigation and the legacy of westward migration define this high-desert borderland between Idaho and Oregon. The map documents a critical historic crossing at Olds Ferry, where the Union Pacific railroad and the Short Line track alongside the water. The corridor is rich with pioneer history, evidenced by the Oregon Trail winding through the hills and the specific placement of the Oregon Trail Mon. The settlement pattern of the early 1950s shows a landscape in transition, with several locations marked as former inhabitants or schools, such as Gypsum (Site) and the Eaton Sch (Aband). Irrigation infrastructure like the Galloway Canal supports the valley floor near Scott, while the uplands remain dominated by topographical landmarks like Indian Head Mtn and the Slaughterhouse Range.
