About this map

Joseph Plains dominates the central landscape of this western Idaho terrain, providing a high plateau above the deep drainage of the Salmon River. The settlement of Boles is situated on the eastern edge of the quadrangle, serving as a localized point of reference in an area defined by its complex network of seasonal and perennial watercourses. Steep ravines such as Long Canyon and Ruggles Gulch carve through the northern sections, while family-named tributaries like Mahoney Creek and Kylie Creek feed the larger river system.

Transportation is limited to rugged corridors like Billy Creek Rd and Flynn Creek Rd, which provide access across the high benches and into the breaks. Notable riverside features like White House Bar indicate the geomorphology along the Salmon, while the southern portion of the map is defined by the headwaters of Cottonwood Creek and Wolf Creek. This survey offers a precise record of the land use and topographic character of the region as documented in the early 2020s.
