2024 Map of Boardman Creek

About this map

Lightfoot Hot Springs sits along the South Fork Boise River in this high-elevation portion of the Smoky Mountains and Soldier Mountains. The landscape is defined by its extensive trail network and drainage systems, including Boardman Creek and its namesake Boardman Creek Trl. Historically significant river features such as Jones Bar and Lightfoot Bar indicate established river-bottom activity beneath the steeper slopes of Housman Gulch and Smoky Dome Canyon. At the southern edge of the quadrangle, the terrain rises toward Boardman Pass, where alpine Smoky Dome Lakes provide a transition into the South Fork Lime Creek drainage. The mapping of specialized routes like the Miller Fence Jeep Trl and Boardman Driveway Trl reflects the region's managed land use and access patterns for high-country ranching or recreation.
