2013 Map of Christmas Mountain

About this map

Christmas Mountain and Flagstaff Butte dominate the high ground of this southwestern Idaho landscape as it appeared in the early 21st century. This Ada County terrain is defined by a series of north-south drainage patterns, most notably the seasonal flow of Sand Creek. The map documents a sparse network of service roads and land management routes, such as S McConnell Rd and Range Road, crossing the foothills. The meticulous survey of Township and Range lines, including t1s r2e and t1s r3e, underscores the enduring importance of the Public Land Survey System in organizing this undeveloped expanse of the Idaho high desert. This 2013 edition provides a clear record of the area's physical geography before any significant modern encroachment.
