About this map

The Danskin Mountains dominate this section of the Boise National Forest, where the terrain rises sharply from the winding course of the South Fork Boise River. The river carves through the northeast corner, passing beneath the heights of Black Canyon and the broad expanse of Smith Prairie. This 2013 survey illustrates a landscape defined by significant elevation changes, from the alluvial benches of Lower Bench to the high-altitude vantage of Danskin Peak.

Access to these high points is traced via the Danskin Lookout Rd, providing a look at the land management infrastructure of the era. The map reveals a dense network of water sources and drainages essential for forest life and historical grazing, including Danskin Lake, Mud Spring, and Iron Spring. Landforms such as Steamboat Rock and Little Fiddler serve as prominent landmarks across this undeveloped portion of Elmore County.
