About this map

Boise City and Garden City anchor the southwestern corner of this Idaho study, where the urban grid gives way to a complex network of foothills and canyons. The transition from valley to mountain is marked by the intricate irrigation systems of the Farmers Union Canal and Boise City Canal, which reflect the region's historical reliance on water engineering. Moving northward, the landscape rises into the Boise National Forest, characterized by prominent landmarks like Stack Rock and the high elevations of Bogus Basin.

Residential expansion is visible in neighborhoods such as the Highlands and Boise Hills Village, while the surrounding terrain is etched with a dense trail system including the Lower Hulls Gulch Trail and Crestline Trail. The map also captures specialized transport features like the Peaceful Cove Airport and several named gulches, such as Pierce Gulch and Miller Gulch, which have shaped the local topography and development patterns north of the city center.
