2024 Map of Syrup Creek

About this map

The Canyon Creek Stage Station Cem serves as a silent reminder of the historic transportation corridors that once crossed this part of Elmore County. Located south of the Danskin Mountains, this site is positioned near the junction of several routes, including the NE Immigrant Rd and Syrup Creek Rd, which trace the paths of early travelers through the Idaho territory. The landscape is defined by the complex drainage systems of Syrup Creek and Long Tom Creek, which carve through the southern reaches of the Boise National Forest. Prominent landforms such as Big Bluff and Emigrant Cove highlight the varied topography, while scattered water sources like Cottonwood Springs provided essential points of reprieve in a region characterized by deep gulches and high ridges.
