About this map

The Snake River carves the northern boundary of this 1930s landscape, where the legacy of westward expansion is etched into the terrain. Traces of the Oregon Trail and the Old Oregon Trail run parallel to the river, passing through Neeley and near the prominent Massacre Rocks. The interior is defined by a series of rural schoolhouses, including Cold Creek Sch, Garris Sch, and Excelsior Sch, which served the scattered agricultural families of the Rockland Valley before mid-century consolidation.

South of the river, the settlement of Rockland serves as a central hub, surrounded by distinctive landmarks such as Table Mountain and the uniquely named Mollys Nipple. The topography transitions from the river lowlands to the high ridges of the Deep Creek Mountains and Cedar Ridge, illustrating the complex water management required for the region, shown through features like the East Fork Ditch and several named springs including Indian Springs and Lupe Springs.
