About this map

The Snake River serves as the winding border between Oregon and Idaho, defining the geography of this agricultural and transit hub. On the Idaho side, Payette is anchored by the Payette County Courthouse and its residential neighborhoods, while Ontario sits across the water in Oregon. The complex river system is marked by numerous landforms including Johnson Island, Welch Island, and Duncan Island, alongside a dense network of irrigation infrastructure like the Owyhee Canal, Washoe Ditch, and Lower Payette Ditch.

Industry and transport legacies are evident in the path of the Union Pacific RR and the presence of the Payette Municipal Airport. For genealogists, the map identifies several local landmarks for research, including Riverside Cem near the riverbank, Washoe Cem, and Evergreen Cem on the Oregon side. Education and community growth are represented by the Treasure Valley Community College campus, situated south of the confluence of the Malheur River and the Snake River.
