2023 Map of Initial Point

About this map

Initial Point stands as the central landmark of this Ada County landscape, marking the historic origin for all land surveys in Idaho. The terrain transitions from the high volcanic plateau down steep canyon walls toward the Snake River, which forms a prominent natural boundary in the southern portion of the sheet. This river corridor is home to Halverson Lake and the wide Con Shea Basin, illustrating the stark contrast between the arid desert highlands and the lush riparian zone at the canyon floor.
