About this map

The Route of the Oregon Trl and the Oregon Trail itself cut across the northeast corner of this Idaho landscape, passing near Bonneville Point and through the rugged draws of Lydle Gulch. This high-desert terrain in Ada County is defined by its intermittent drainage systems, including Fivemile Cr, Blacks Cr, and N Indian Cr, which flow toward the Indian Creek Reservoir in the southeast.

Modern infrastructure, such as the diagonal corridor of the interstate and roads like Kuna-Mora Rd, now intersects the historic paths of nineteenth-century emigrants. Small markers of human geography appear at the rail-adjacent settlement of Leone and across Slaters Flat, while topographical features like Isaacs Canyon and Bryans Run provide landmarks in a territory largely organized by the Public Land Survey System sections of T2N and T1N.
