The T-Bums of Central Oregon, Owyhee, Oregon and Succor Creek, Idaho, 2022.

Trivia:

The name Succor Creek is said to refer to early travelers in the Snake River Basin who, having been saved by the creek's fresh water, applied the name as a corruption of the Spanish word socorro, meaning help or aid.

The Owyhee River was named for three Native Hawaiian trappers, in the employ of the North West Company, who were sent to explore the uncharted river. They failed to return to the rendezvous near the Boise River and were never seen again. As recorded in journals such as one from Peter Skene Ogden, 1825), “three Native Owyeen’s” (Hawaiian) men were sent up a Snake River tributary and they never returned. Suspected to be killed by a local band of Bannocks led by a chief named The Horse, later one skeleton was found. Honoring these lost folks, trappers named the river after them. The common spelling of Hawaii at the time was Owyhee; an early map (1825) by William Kittson records this name.
