About this map

Boise Ridge dominates this 1970s landscape, serving as a high-altitude spine that divides the drainage systems of the Boise National Forest. The map illustrates a transitional zone where recreation and extraction meet, characterized by a complex network of Pack Trails and Jeep Trails carving through the steep gulches of the Boise Front. High summits like Boise Peak and Gardiner Peak stand as prominent landmarks above the canyon-dissected terrain.

Industrial activity and early ranching history are evident through scattered prospects and the site of the Bumblebee Mine near Ashton Gulch. To the north, the Davidson Ranch remains a solitary named settlement within the upper reaches of Clear Creek. The transportation network is defined by the winding Bogus Basin Road and the primitive 8th Street Road, reflecting the area's development as both a resource-rich mountain range and a rising destination for outdoor accessibility.
