2023 Map of The Roost

About this map

The Danskin Mountains dominate this high-desert landscape in south-central Idaho, where a complex network of drainage basins and ridges defines the terrain within the Boise National Forest. The map documents a rugged watershed system where Roost Creek and Bowns Creek flow through deep ravines toward the south, while northern drainages like Corral Creek and Flat Creek carve through the steep slopes of the Danskin range. This 2023 survey highlights a modern infrastructure of backcountry access, centered on a dense web of motorized and hiking paths such as Danskin #500 Trl and Danskin #310 Trl. These routes, alongside Slater Flat Rd, suggest the area’s contemporary use for forest management and outdoor recreation, while place names like Cherry Gulch and Porcupine Creek speak to the local natural history of this Elmore County wilderness.
