About this map

The Snake River and Boise River converge in this agricultural landscape of western Idaho, defined by an intricate network of irrigation systems and early settlements. The town of Wilder serves as a hub for the region, supported by the Union Pacific railroad and surrounded by productive lands fed by the Golden Gate Canal and Arena Canal. Researchers will find significant genealogical markers across the territory, including the Roswell Cemetery, Wilder Cemetery, and Fargo Cemetery. South of Wilder, the landscape transitions toward the Canyon and Owyhee County boundary at the river's edge, where Gravelly Point and Heltons Island mark the waterway. ThePresence of a Labor Camp and the County Fairgrounds near Homedale reflects the social and economic infrastructure of this farming valley during the mid-20th century.
