About this map

The Payette River carves a dramatic oxbow through Boise County, defining the location of Horseshoe Bend. This 2017 survey details the complex interface of high-elevation terrain and valley floor infrastructure, where the Power Canal follows the river's path westward toward Wakefield Gulch. To the south, Pioneer Cem stands as a point of interest for genealogists, situated near the transition from residential streets like River Ave to the more open slopes of t7n r2e.

The landscape is marked by numerous named drainages and peaks, from South Mtn in the west to the isolated settlement of Gardena and the secluded Jerusalem Valley to the north. These early foothill routes, including Horseshoe Bend Rd and Harris Creek Rd, show the modern evolution of travel through this Boise Basin gateway, while the path of Old Emmett Rd suggests the historical corridors that once connected these river towns.
