About this map

The Snake River carves a dramatic path through this high desert landscape, serving as the historical and biological anchor of the region. By the early 1990s, this corridor was defined by its dual identity as a protected habitat and a site of enduring human passage. The Snake River Birds of Prey Natural Area encompasses much of the southern terrain, including the basalt heights of Guffey Butte and Walters Butte. Cultural history is deeply layered here, from ancient Petroglyphs near the riverbanks to the industrial-era Guffey Railroad Bridge. Settlement patterns are concentrated north of the river in Melba and Stoddard, where an intricate network of the Siphon, Aqueduct, and various canals supports agriculture. The historic crossing at Walters Ferry remains a key landmark, while the Celebration County Park marks a shift toward preserving the confluence of archaeological and natural resources.
