About this map

Dry Buck Valley is defined by its dramatic relief within the Boise National Forest, where the terrain transitions from the high elevations of Dry Buck Mtn and Timber Butte down toward the Payette River corridor. The settlement of Banks sits at a critical junction near the eastern edge of the map, while the small community of Brownlee occupies the southwestern corner along Brownlee Cr.

Transport through this part of Boise County relies on a network of forest roads and historic routes such as Horseshoe Bend Rd and Banks Grade. The map captures a complex drainage system where multiple forks of Soldier Cr and Phillips Creek carve through the high country. For those tracking local history or property boundaries, the survey clearly marks the township lines of T8N R2E and T9N R3E, showing how the land was partitioned among the ridges and creeks.
