2011 Map of Cathedral Rocks

About this map

Smith Prairie serves as the central high-ground feature of this landscape, punctuated by the remote Smith Prairie Airport. The region's geography is defined by the deep drainage of the South Fork Boise River, which carves through the western and southern reaches of the map. This river corridor is fed by a complex network of seasonal and perennial streams including Dead Horse Creek, Rock Creek, and Mennecke Creek. The presence of the Pierce Ditch in the north indicates a history of managed water distribution for this high-desert plateau.
