About this map

Dobson Ranch serves as a lone residential marker in this 2011 Boise-area landscape, situated where Shafer Creek winds through the hills. The terrain is defined by dramatic geological features like Stack Rock and Bread Loaf Rock, while the northern reaches are carved by Crumley Gulch and Lone Pine Gulch.

Modern transportation routes, including New State Hwy 55 and Cartwright Rd, provide access to the drainages of Cartwright Canyon and the headwaters of Spring Valley Creek. The hydrologic network is further detailed by numerous tributaries such as Alkali Creek, South Fork Willow Creek, and Bogus Creek. This survey captures the rural character of the region as infrastructure began to reach further into the foothills north of the Idaho capital.
