2017 Map of Pearl

About this map

The high desert canyons and peaks of the Boise Mountains define this area northwest of Boise, where the historic mining settlement of Pearl sits along Pearl Road. The terrain is characterized by deep drainages like Arkansas Canyon and Deep Canyon, with prominent overlooks at Crown Point and Prospect Peak. To the southeast, the residential expansion of Spring Valley begins to intersect with the natural landscape of Woods Gulch and Spring Valley Cr. The map shows a complex network of trails and rural roads, including the evocatively named Bovine Nirvana and Whiptail Trail, winding through the foothills. Water resources are marked by the presence of Siphon Lakes and Home Lake in the northeastern corner, providing a contrast to the seasonal creek beds like S Fork Willow Cr and Alkali Cr that carve through the surrounding ridges.
