About this map

Parma serves as the focal point of this modern survey, situated near the confluence of the Boise River and the Snake River along the Idaho-Oregon border. The landscape is defined by an extensive network of irrigation infrastructure essential to the region's agricultural character, including the Farmers Cooperative Sebree Canal, Parma Canal, and D-Line Canal. This intricate water management system transformed the high desert into productive farmland, visible in the numerous rural roads named for early families and local landmarks, such as Rohrbacher Ln and Old Fort Boise Rd.

Conservation areas and riparian environments shape the western edge of the quadrangle, where the Deer Flat National Wildlife Refuge encompasses Bridge Island in the Snake River. Genealogists and local historians can locate established sites such as the Parma Cem and Lower Boise Cem, while the presence of the Parma Airport and Mcconnel Island further illustrates the varied land use between the settlements of Nyssa and Apple Valley.
