2013 Map of Lightning Ridge

About this map

Boise National Forest encompasses this high-elevation landscape along the boundary of Valley and Boise Counties. The terrain is defined by the prominent Lightning Ridge and Scott Mtn, with drainage networks formed by Lightning Cr and Anderson Cr. This 2013 survey provides a detailed view of the backcountry infrastructure, documenting a web of Forest Service roads such as 668 and 555c that navigate through Granite Basin and Lookout Canyon. The presence of landmarks like Lightning Creek Rocks and Onion Valley highlights the topographic diversity of the region. For those studying the management of public lands or tracing historical access routes through the central Idaho wilderness, these recorded paths and natural features offer a clear picture of the area's contemporary geography.
