About this map

The Roost serves as a central focal point for this 2020 topographical study of Idaho's high desert and forest interface. Located within the Boise National Forest, the landscape is defined by an intricate network of seasonal drainages and ridge-running forest roads. The terrain transitions from the open spaces of Sand Hollow in the west toward the more complex elevations of Cherry Gulch in the east.

Transportation throughout the area relies on a series of numbered forest service routes, including the Danskin #300 and Danskin #500 systems, which navigate the steep topography between drainages like Indian Cr and Big Horse Cr. The map captures the specialized land use typical of this region, where Slater Flat Rd provides access to remote high-country points. This record provides a clear view of the water distribution and access points essential for backcountry management and recreation in Elmore County.
