2010 Map of Christmas Mountain

About this map

Christmas Mountain and Flagstaff Butte rise as prominent landmarks in this high-desert region of Ada County. This area in the early 21st century is defined by its sparse road network and the significant presence of the Ada County National Guard Area, which occupies a large portion of the southern landscape. The terrain is marked by seasonal drainages like Sand Creek and a web of unpaved tracks and throughways, including S McConnell Rd and Range Rd. The map illustrates a place primarily dedicated to military training and open-range land use, with very few permanent structures or residential settlements visible, preserving a snapshot of the high-desert interior before further regional expansion.
