1957 Map of Walters Butte

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

The Snake River carves a deep path through this 1957 landscape, serving as the border between Owyhee and Canyon counties. Near the river's bend, the historic Walters Ferry (Site) marks an important crossing point, while Noble Island sits within the waterway. The land to the northeast, including the settlement of Melba, is defined by an intricate irrigation network featuring the Waldvogel Canal and numerous laterals like Midway Lateral and Call Lateral. These water systems supported agricultural development alongside the Union Pacific railroad corridor passing through Stoddard. To the south, the terrain rises sharply into the volcanic forms of Walters Butte and Guffey Butte, overlooking the Con Shea Basin. Local life in the late 1950s is centered around landmarks like the Glendale School and the connectivity provided by the Owyhee Highway.
