2013 Map of Wilson Peak

About this map

Wilson sits at the northern edge of this high-elevation landscape, where the agricultural flats of the Snake River valley meet the rising slopes of the Owyhee Mountains. This 2013 survey documents the complex irrigation and transport networks required to manage this arid terrain, including the Bernard Ditch and Wilson Cr. The presence of the Wilson Cem and several family-named roads like Bailey Rd and R C Shire Ln provides a valuable record for local family historians. The map is dominated by significant topographical landmarks such as Wilson Peak and Hemingway Butte, while to the north, the boundary between Canyon County and Owyhee County is marked near the river features of Wright Island and Bayha Island. Modern access is defined by routes such as Upper Reynolds Creek Rd and China Ditch Rd, tracing the paths of earlier pioneers.
