2024 Map of Payette

About this map

The Snake River serves as the primary boundary and geographical heart of this region, separating Payette, Idaho, from Ontario, Oregon. The river's influence on the landscape is clear through the intricate network of irrigation and drainage features, including the Owyhee Canal, Lower Ditch, and Stewart Carter Ditch. In the north, the Deer Flat National Wildlife Refuge encompasses Pool Island and Duncan Island within the river’s reach, while the smaller Little Banks Island and Banks Island sit near the settlement of Washoe.
