1948 Map of Sand Dunes

About this map

The Snake River carves a deep canyon through the high desert of southwest Idaho, defining the boundary between Elmore and Owyhee Counties in the late 1940s. This landscape is a corridor of movement where historical transportation routes converge. The Emigrant Trail skirts the southern riverbank, while the Old Freight Trail and Old Mountain City Trail descend from the northern bluffs toward the water.
