2020 Map of Twin Springs

About this map

Twin Springs serves as a central point of interest in this mountain landscape where the North Fork Boise River meets a network of steep drainages. Located within the Boise National Forest, the map illustrates a terrain defined by significant vertical relief, from the heights of Bald Mtn and Thorn Creek Butte to the river floor at River Landing. The presence of Hot Springs near the main settlement suggests the geothermal character of the area, which has long influenced local activity and land use. Transportation is anchored by the Atlanta Road, which snakes through the canyon following the river's course. Recreational and natural features are prominent, including the William Pogue National Recreation Trail and various named gulches like Logging Gulch and Slide Gulch, which provide insight into the historical industry and geological events that shaped these slopes.
