1972 Map of Boise North

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

Boise and Garden City sit at the southern edge of this topographic study, where residential neighborhoods meet the steep foothills of the Boise National Forest. The transition from urban center to wilderness is marked by early suburban developments like the Highlands and Boise Hills Village, contrasted with the rugged northern landscape of Bogus Basin and Crane Creek. Genealogists and local historians can trace the mid-century footprint of the city through its numerous educational and religious landmarks, including Lowell Sch, St Marys Sch, and the Bible College. The northern half of the map is dominated by a network of drainage systems like Stewart Gulch and Hulls Gulch, featuring several Borrow Pits and an Old Military Reservation that hint at the varied land use on the city’s periphery during the early 1970s.
