About this map

Moores Flat and the surrounding drainage of Lime Creek define this section of the Boise National Forest area in Elmore County. This 2011 survey illustrates a landscape dominated by a complex network of seasonal and perennial waterways, including Big Springs Creek, Moores Creek, and the many-branched North Fork Lime Creek. The presence of the Lime Creek Campground suggests the area's transition towards recreational use by the early 21st century.

Elevations rise toward the northern boundary at Sprout Mountain, where several timber-related landmarks like Sawmill Gulch and Beaverdam Gulch point to the historic resource extraction that once shaped these canyons. Other family or descriptive names such as Murphy Gulch, Ellis Gulch, and Hawk Gulch provide specific points of interest for local historians tracking the nomenclature of the drainage system.
