About this map

The Boise Mountains define this high-altitude landscape where the boundaries of Gem, Adams, and Valley counties converge. This 2004 revision reveals a terrain managed by the Forest Service, split between the Boise National Forest and Payette National Forest. Notable summits including Tripod Peak, Snowbank Mountain, and Granite Peak dominate the eastern ridge, providing a clear view of the area's geological prominence and the placement of modern infrastructure like communication towers and a lookout helispot.

Water and meadow systems like Rammage Meadows and Wilson Meadows are critical features among the steep drainages of Squaw Creek and its many forks. Remote landmarks such as Gabes Bathtub and Blue Lake offer insight into the hydrology of the interior range. Historical use of the land is evident in the network of 4WD roads and the Ranger Trail, alongside evidence of resource extraction at the Gravel Pit.
