About this map

Snake River Birds of Prey Natural Area dominates the high canyon walls and plateaus of this Owyhee County landscape. The Snake River carves a deep path through the terrain, serving as both a county boundary and a lifeline for the desert environment. Historical transport and settlement patterns are etched into the earth here, from the pioneer tracks of the Oregon Trail (South Alternate) to the Old Ferry Site near Swan Falls. The movement of water is central to the area's development, evidenced by the Murphy Mutual Canal and an extensive aqueduct system feeding Murphy Flat. Notable family landmarks such as the Jacob Reubun Graves and the Montini Ranch offer specific points of interest for genealogists tracing the agricultural and ranching history of the region near Oreana.
