1952 Map of Olds Ferry

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

The Snake River carves a deep path through this borderland between Idaho and Oregon, where the 1974 photorevisions reveal the significant hydrological shift caused by the Brownlee Reservoir. This canyon landscape is defined by the high elevations of the Slaughterhouse Range and Dead Indian Ridge, which overlook historic river crossings and industrial routes. Infrastructure is a focal point of the area, featuring the Union Pacific railroad tracks and the Old Oregon Trail Highway tracing the river's western bank. Local history is anchored at Farewell Bend State Park and the former crossing of Olds Ferry (Site). The map also documents resource extraction and markers of early travel, such as Coal Mine Gulch and several Oregon Trail Mon markers, alongside smaller settlements like Darrows and the Crawford Place (Site) on the Idaho side.
