About this map

Ontario and Payette stand as dual anchors on either side of the Snake River, marking a busy interstate corridor where the Malheur River joins from the west. This 2013 survey details the complex hydraulic landscape of the Lower Payette Valley, crisscrossed by irrigation infrastructure like the Dead Ox Canal, Washoe Ditch, and Lower Payette Ditch. These waterways support the agricultural character of the region, from the 4 D J Farm in the north down to Fruitland and Ramey in the south.

Industrial and transport hubs are prominent, including the Payette Municipal Airport and the Malheur County Fairgrounds. The map identifies several river features such as Duncan Island, Pool Island, and Johnson Island, which define the shifting boundary between Oregon and Idaho. Local history is anchored by numerous burial grounds including Saint Johns Cem and Riverside Cem, while residential expansions like Ontario Heights and Payette Heights crown the surrounding slopes.
