2013 Map of Cartwright Canyon

About this map

Dobson Ranch sits amidst a network of high-elevation canyons and gulches north of Boise, where the landscape transitions into the Boise National Forest. This 2013 survey illustrates a terrain defined by steep drainage systems like Cartwright Canyon and the winding course of Shafer Cr. The map captures a mix of private ranching interests and public lands, marked by distinctive geological features such as Bread Loaf Rock and the prominent Stack Rock at the southern boundary. Transportation through this part of Boise and Ada counties relies on historically significant routes including Horseshoe Bend Rd and Cartwright Rd. Remote aviation access is noted at the Loomis Airport, while numerous watercourses like Spring Valley Cr and Cottonwood Cr provide a detailed look at the local watershed before it feeds into larger valley systems.
