2020 Map of Christmas Mountain

About this map

Christmas Mtn and Flagstaff Butte rise above the high desert floor south of Boise in this contemporary record of Ada County. The landscape is defined by the ephemeral drainage of Sand Cr, which cuts through the northern sections of the map. While the terrain appears open and undeveloped, it is structured by a network of rural corridors including S Pleasant Valley Rd and S McConnell Rd. The map illustrates a modern state of land management where traditional section lines, noted by markers like t1s r2e, intersect with newer roads like W Range Rd. This survey captures the quiet transition of the Snake River Plain before the continued expansion of the surrounding metropolitan area reaches these high elevations.
