About this map

The Danskin Mountains of Elmore County dominate this landscape, culminating at the high point of Danskin Peak. Winding through the northern and eastern portions of the terrain, the South Fork Boise River serves as the primary drainage for numerous tributaries, including Devils Hole Creek, Cottonwood Creek, and Smith Creek. The area is characterized by high-elevation flats and named rocky features like Steamboat Rock and the Black Canyon gorge.

Access to the summit is traced via Danskin Lookout Rd, reflecting the region's importance for fire observation and backcountry travel. Notable water sources in this arid environment include Danskin Lake, Cold Spring, and Mud Spring. The map documents a geography defined by its narrow gulches, such as Raspberry Gulch and Cherry Gulch, and expansive plateaus like Little Fiddler Flat and Ballinger Flat, providing a clear record of the area's topographic character in the early 21st century.
