2017 Map of Pioneerville

About this map

Pioneerville sits within the heart of the Boise Basin, an area defined by its deep drainages and legacy of extraction within the Boise National Forest. The landscape is a network of ridges and gulches, where named features such as Miller Gulch, Hall Gulch, and Violet Gulch descend toward the central vein of Grimes Creek. This survey captures the specialized infrastructure of the region's historical industry, noting the location of the Washington Mill and the Mascot Mine near the southern boundary. Higher elevations are marked by prominent points like Wilson Peak and crossings such as Coulter Summit, while the rugged travel routes like the Henry Smith Whiskey Road and Summit Flat indicate how this difficult terrain was navigated for timber and mineral access in Boise County.
