About this map

Oregon Trail traces an iconic path across this portion of Ada County, passing through Bonneville Point in the northeastern corner of the quadrangle. This 2020 survey reveals a high-desert landscape defined by seasonal drainages and vast flats, such as Slaters Flat and the canyon-cut terrain of Isaacs Canyon. The mapping of several distinct watercourses, including Indian Cr, its northern fork N Indian Cr, and Blacks Cr, illustrates the hydrological network that shapes this arid region south of Boise.

The settlement of Leone and several significant thoroughfares like Blacks Creek Rd and Kuna-Mora Rd indicate the modern infrastructure layered over ancient routes. Modern land divisions are clearly marked through township and range boundaries like t2n r3e and t1n r4e, providing a precise grid for researchers and local historians to locate specific land tracts and historical sites such as Bryans Run or Lydle Gulch.
