About this map

Pearl sits near the northern edge of this high-desert landscape where the border of Gem and Boise counties meets. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent elevations including Prospect Peak, Crown Point, and the steep descents into Arkansas Canyon and Deep Canyon. This 2013 survey illustrates the complex drainage system feeding into the Willow Creek basin, with the N Fork Willow Cr and S Fork Willow Cr carving through the arid hills.

Transportation through the region relies on the winding path of Horseshoe Bend Rd, while localized features like Siphon Lakes and Woods Gulch suggest the management of water in a demanding environment. The map captures the intersection of three counties—Gem, Ada, and Boise—demonstrating how political boundaries follow the natural topography of ridges and gulches like Big Gulch Cr and Little Gulch Cr.
