About this map

The confluence of the Snake River and Boise River defines this agricultural landscape on the border of Canyon and Owyhee counties. A sophisticated network of irrigation infrastructure is visible, with the Riverside Canal, Golden Gate Canal, and Fargo High Line Canal distributing water across the fertile plains between Roswell and Wilder. These engineering works transformed the arid terrain into a productive farming corridor, punctuated by small settlements like Allendale and the city of Homedale to the south.

Local history is anchored by several established burial grounds, including Roswell Cem, Wilder Cem, and Fargo Cem. The river geography is particularly detailed, featuring landforms like Goat Island and Gravelly Point. The map also captures the transition from river bottomlands to the surrounding high ground via several named drainages, such as Mammen Gulch and Christian Gulch, while the Dixie Access Area highlights the regional importance of river recreation along the Boise.
