2024 Map of High Valley

About this map

High Valley sits within a complex drainage network at the boundary of Gem, Valley, and Boise Counties. The settlement is defined by its high-altitude meadows and aviation access points, specifically High Valley Airport and Hidden Lakes Airport. The landscape is dominated by the Boise National Forest, where steep gulches and ridges like Whitlock Gulch and Dry Buck Ridge drop toward watercourses such as the Sohoagaiteka'a Naokwaide. Transportation through this montane terrain follows established routes like the Ola-Smiths Ferry road and the Old Ola-Smiths Ferry path, crossing notable high points at Ola Summit and Dry Buck Summit. Significant terrain features including Fletcher Butte and Dry Buck Mtn provide landmarks for navigating the forested wilderness, while more secluded spots like Dry Buck Meadow and Mud Lake dot the higher elevations near the Boise County line.
