About this map

Harris Creek Summit serves as a central landmark in this high-elevation Boise County landscape, which is almost entirely contained within the Boise National Forest. The map documents a complex drainage system defined by deep gulches and creek beds, such as Confederate Gulch and North Deadman Gulch, which cut through the Boise Ridge. Notable peaks like Hawley Mtn overlook a network of forest roads and trails, including Jackass Creek Rd and Star Ranch Rd, that follow the natural contours of the terrain.

The layout of the Boise National Forest boundaries is shown alongside the Public Land Survey System grid, which includes portions of Townships 6 North through 8 North. Headwaters for several significant waterways are found here, including Brainard Cr and Harris Cr. The lack of named settlements emphasizes the area's character as a managed wilderness and resource zone, where named features primarily identify the rugged physical geography and the specialized roads used to traverse it.
