1998 Map of Idaho City
USGS Topo · Published 2002About this map
Idaho City serves as the focal point of this late-twentieth-century study, situated at the confluence of several prominent gulches within the Boise Basin. The landscape is heavily marked by its mining legacy, with the Gold Hill Mine and extensive tailings deposits surrounding the townsite and stretching along the banks of Mores Creek. This era of the landscape shows a transition toward forestry and scientific land management, evidenced by the presence of the Boise Basin Experiment Sta and the vast Boise National Forest boundaries. Local history and genealogy are preserved at the Boot Hill Cem, while the town's infrastructure includes a Landing Strip and a Water Tank. Numerous watercourses, including Thorn Creek, Bannock Creek, and Grayback Gulch, dissect the terrain, highlighting the intricate drainage system that once supported hydraulic mining operations in the region.
