Weiser Idaho County Seeks Vast Valley Development
An early Washington County prospectus outlines Weiser and its surrounding valleys as a rich land of mineral and agricultural potential. It highlights 40 to 50 mile wide tracts, railroad access via the Oregon Shook line, and an undeveloped 40 000 to 50 000 acres of prime farmland. The plan calls for capital investment, new mills, and extensive wool production within 200 miles, promising major economic growth and a future railway link to broader markets.
