2013 Map of Pioneerville

About this map

Pioneerville sits within the drainage of Grimes Cr, a central hub in the gold-rich Boise Basin as documented in the early 21st century. The landscape is defined by its deep mining heritage, evidenced by the presence of the Washington Mill and numerous gulches named during the region's prospecting era. These include the curiously named Lager Beer Gulch, Gambrinus Gulch, and Forest King Gulch. The steep terrain is navigated by historic routes like Summit Flat Rd and Grimes Pass Rd, which cross over Grimes Creek Pass. While much of the land is managed as part of the Boise National Forest, the map also identifies private landholdings such as the Arbaugh Ranch and the solitary Miner Grave located near S Fork Smith Cr, providing specific points of interest for genealogists and local historians tracing the development of this Idaho mountain community.
