2020 Map of Ola

About this map

Ola and the Ola Valley occupy a central corridor within this Gem County landscape, where the Sweet Ola Hwy connects the small community to the surrounding drainages. The area is defined by a dense network of gulches and creeks, including Salmon Gulch, Currin Gulch, and Fir Tree Gulch, which feed into major waterways like Squaw Creek. To the east, the boundary of the Boise National Forest marks a transition into more elevated terrain, anchored by landmarks such as Joes Butte. Local transport follows the valley floors and ridges via routes like High Valley Rd and Baldwin Rd, while the western edge of the map tracks the Washington Co line. This survey captures the rural character of the region, showing how ranching and forestry access roads intersect with the natural hydrology of Sucker Cr and Gold Run Cr.
