About this map

The Anderson Ranch Dam controls the flow of the South Fork Boise River in this rugged section of Elmore County, creating the expansive Anderson Ranch Reservoir. The map reveals the infrastructure of water management and local settlement, including Reclamation Village and the small community of Dixie. This area's industrial past is marked by mineral extractions at the Daley Con Mines and Reber Mine, located along the river and its tributaries.

Elevations vary significantly across the landscape, from the heights of Granite Mountain down to the Little Camas Prairie. Transportation is facilitated by routes such as Anderson Dam Rd and River Rd, while recreational and logistical points like the Elk Creek Boat Ramp and Bennett Airport serve the surrounding Wilson Flat and Bennett Creek Basin. To the east, the Little Camas Dam holds the waters of the Little Camas Reservoir, completing a picture of a region defined by its hydro-engineering and high-altitude geography.
