2017 Map of Danskin Peak

About this map

Danskin Peak rises as the central landmark of the Danskin Mountains within the Boise National Forest, dominating a landscape defined by deep gulches and high benches. The South Fork Boise River cuts through the northern portion of the quadrangle, flanked by geographic features like Lower Bench and Devils Hole. This era of management by the U.S. Forest Service is evidenced by an extensive network of designated routes such as Danskin #331 and Danskin #340, which facilitate access to remote water sources including Danskin Lake, Mud Spring, and Iron Spring. The terrain transitions from the heights of Danskin Lookout down to the distinct flats of Smith Prairie and Ballinger Flat. High-elevation landmarks like Steamboat Rock and the drainage systems of Syrup Creek illustrate the complex hydrography of this Elmore County region.
