1957 Map of Shafer Butte

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

The high ridges of the Boise National Forest dominate this mid-century survey, centered on the prominent elevation of Shafer Butte. As Boise expanded during the late 1950s, this area transitioned into a critical recreational and communications hub. The map highlights the early footprints of Bogus Basin State Park, which was then becoming a primary winter sports destination for the Treasure Valley. Elevated landmarks like Deer Point and Doe Point show the concentration of regional broadcasting infrastructure, including the KBOI-TV Towers and Kido-Tv, illustrating how these peaks served the growing population below.
