About this map

Shafer Butte and the surrounding high-altitude terrain of the Boise National Forest dominate this mountain landscape north of the state capital. The area is defined by the extensive recreation infrastructure of Bogus Basin, featuring a complex network of named ski runs and trails such as The Face, Tempest, and Shindig. This 2017 survey captures the modern configuration of the winter sports area, including the Lodge and the specialized Mores Mountain Mtn Bike trail.

Beyond the resort, the map details the drainage systems of Harris Creek and Mores Creek, separated by the prominent Boise Ridge. Local landmarks like Castle Rock and Sugarloaf Rock punctuate the ridges, while the Shafer Butte Cg and the Mores Mountain Interpretive trail provide access for summer visitors. This map is an essential reference for understanding the modern topographic layout of one of Idaho's primary outdoor recreation hubs.
