About this map

Boise and its northern foothills are documented here as urban development pushes into the canyons and draws of the Boise National Forest boundary. The landscape transitions from the dense street grids of the Highlands and Boise Hills Village to the master-planned character of Hidden Springs, reflecting the city’s contemporary expansion. In the lowlands, the historic water management system is visible via the Farmers Union Canal and Boise City Canal, while the Boise River and Boise Cascade Lake anchor the southern edge of the sheet.

Higher elevations are defined by a network of recreational paths like Peggy's Trail and Currant Creek Trail #75, alongside traditional landmarks such as Chukar Butte and Rocky Canyon. The presence of the Peaceful Cove Airport tucked into the hills and the winding Cartwright Rd illustrates how this once-remote ranching and timber terrain has been integrated into the metropolitan fringe of Idaho’s capital.
