About this map

Gross marks a small pocket of settlement amidst the high-elevation drainages of western Idaho. This 2013 survey follows the rugged divide between Washington Co and Gem Co, where the landscape is defined by the headwaters of Squaw Cr and the eastern reaches of the Boise National Forest. The map documents a network of forest roads and land management boundaries, including Sheep Creek Rd and Second Fork Rd, which provide access to localized landmarks like Dodson Pass and the notable peak of Tree Spring Mtn.

Water sources and terrain features dominate the local geography, from Moore Spring in the west to the high-altitude Beech Lake in the southeast. Named drainages such as Cottonwood Cr and Timber Flat Cr carve through the steep topography, while peaks like Friday Butte stand as clear navigational points. The presence of Nesbitt Ln and several gulches, including Vaughan Gulch, suggest a history of ranching or light habitation in this secluded portion of the Idaho interior.
