2013 Map of The Roost

About this map

The Danskin Mountains dominate this portion of the Boise National Forest in Elmore County, where high-elevation drainage systems define the landscape. Small-scale ranching and remote settlement are evidenced by Thomson Ranch and the localized namesake area of The Roost near the confluence of Roost Cr and Browns Cr. The map reveals a complex network of seasonal and perennial waterways including Indian Cr, Soles Rest Cr, and Ditto Cr, which cut through sharp topographical features like Cherry Gulch and Sand Hollow. This 2013 survey illustrates the modern accessibility of the backcountry via Browns Creek Rd, showing how traditional land use patterns persist within the federally protected forest boundaries of southwestern Idaho.
