1990 Map of Syrup Creek

About this map

The Danskin Mountains dominate this high-desert landscape in the Boise National Forest, where a complex network of seasonal drainages and springs defines the local geography. Significant water features like Syrup Creek, Cottonwood Creek, and Canyon Creek carve through the terrain, supporting isolated infrastructure including a Gaging Sta and a Water Tank. The map reflects a working landscape of the late 20th century, where land use is marked by scattered Prospects and Borrow Pit excavations, alongside a prominent Trans Line crossing the southern portion of the sheet. The prevalence of named springs and intermittent creeks like Dry Creek underscores the importance of water management in this arid Idaho interior.
