1990 Map of The Roost

USGS Topo · Published 1991

About this map

The Danskin Mountains dominate this high-desert landscape within the Boise National Forest in Elmore County. The terrain is characterized by a network of drainage systems including Roost Creek, Bowns Creek, and Cherry Gulch, which carve through the peaks and ridges. Human presence is sparse, marked primarily by the Thomson Ranch and a scattered series of 4WD trails that navigate the steep contours. A solitary Prospect near the center of the sheet and a high-voltage Trans Line cutting across the southern sections suggest the remote industrial and agricultural activity of the late 20th century. The namesake feature, The Roost, stands as a prominent landmark amidst the headwaters of several drainages, illustrating the complex topography of this Idaho backcountry.
