2013 Map of Long Gulch

About this map

The South Fork Boise River cuts through this high-country landscape in Elmore County, defining the drainage patterns for numerous tributaries like Rattlesnake Cr and Smith Cr. The terrain is characterized by significant elevation changes between Flatiron Mtn and the namesake Long Gulch, while Smith Prairie provides a distinct level area in the southeast. This 2013 survey shows the management of the Boise National Forest, including specialized areas such as the Elk Creek Exclosure and the Rattlesnake Campground. A network of forest roads, including Blacks Creek Rd and Rattlesnake Creek Rd, provides access to these peaks and canyons. The map illustrates the convergence of wild terrain and forest management, where Lower Bench sits above the river valley and Krall Mtn stands as a prominent local landmark.
