1949 Map of Robie Creek

About this map

Boise Ridge dominates the skyline of this 1970s topographic study, marking the rugged high ground northeast of the state capital. The map captures the divide between Boise Co and Ada Co, a landscape defined by significant elevation changes from Boise Peak and Gardiner Peak down to the creek beds. While the area is largely part of the Boise National Forest, the presence of the Bumblebee Mine, several unnamed mines, and scattered prospects suggests a history of mineral exploration throughout these gulches.
