2020 Map of Syrup Creek

About this map

The Danskin Mountains dominate the northeastern landscape of this Elmore County region, which is largely defined by the drainage basins within the Boise National Forest. The map illustrates a rugged network of seasonal and perennial waterways, most notably Syrup Creek and Long Tom Creek, which carve deep canyons and gulches like Teetors Gulch and Dixie Gulch. The presence of Emigrant Cove and the namesake Immigrant Road along the southern border suggests a historical corridor of travel through this high-elevation terrain. Access to the interior is provided by forest service roads such as Nat For Dev Rd 167 and local routes like Canyon Creek Road, which navigate the elevation changes between Big Bluff and the various creek forks. Natural water sources like Cottonwood Springs appear as vital landmarks in this arid, high-country environment.
