A few nice Jordan images I identified:

The Jordan Valley or Plain of Jericho


Image by Oregon State University Archives
Image Title: The Jordan Valley or Plain of Jericho

Image Description from historic lecture booklet: &quotOn the last steep descent on the road from Jerusalem is a view of scenes deeply intriguing, the Jordon Valley or plain of Jericho. The width of the plain here is sixteen miles and would demand completely five hours by ordinary travel from this point, to gain the foot of the mountains of Moab, which could be seen beyond the plain.

The ruins of ancient Jericho of Joshua’ time are around the mountain to the left of this picture just beyond the vision. The Jericho of Herod in the time of Christ is supposed to have occupied a position on the plain at the foot of this descent. The bed of the Jordon is about the center of the plain.

On the left might be observed the path on the northern bank of the brook Cherith. The path begins at the Elijah Convent. Right after leaving Elijah Convent, the path traverses the side of the gorge, very precipitous above and below. Numerous are the caverns and cells which have accommodated hermits and anchorites for numerous centuries. These caves may be noticed on either side of the gorge.&quot

Jordan and the Promised Land, Palistine


Image by Oregon State University Archives
Image Title: Jordan and the Promised Land, Palistine

Image Description from historic lecture booklet: &quotIn the study or rivers and their valleys the Jordan need to be considered as a unique case. Rivers can’t cut even at their mouths, but a small below the level of the body into which they flow. The Jordan does not violate this law and however a portion of its course is far below sea level. It rises west of Mt. Hermon and following spreading out into Lake Merom and the Sea of Galilee, discharges its waters into the Dead Sea, which has not outlet and is a body of salt water, and here the Jordan is below sea -level. The Valley of the Jordan, the Dead Sea and the Sea of Galilee occupy a portion of a long narrow depression in the surface of the earth. At the east and wast margins of the depression there are wonderful fissures or breaks in the rocks and the land between these fissures has fallen or been drawn in toward the center of the earth.&quot
