1897 Map of Weiser

About this map

Weiser serves as the focal point of this late 19th-century survey, situated at the confluence of the Weiser River and the Snake River. The map captures the borderlands of Idaho and Oregon during a period of significant regional organization, showing the boundary between Washington Co. and Canyon Co. and the path of the Short Line railroad. The layout of the land reveals a series of critical water sources for early settlers, from the wide Payette River in the south to the intricate drainage system of Crane Creek and Little Willow Creek.
