2017 Map of Warm Springs Point

About this map

Warm Springs Point dominates the central landscape of this section of the Boise National Forest, situated north of the Casher Mtn peak. This 2017 survey details a complex network of drainages including Grimes Creek, Macks Creek, and the southern Mores Cr, which is followed by the Ponderosa Pine Scenic Route. The naming of the landscape reflects a heritage of early prospecting and ranching, evidenced by features such as Monazite Gulch, Milk-Ranch Gulch, and Tollgate Gulch. While the area is largely mountainous, the presence of Rye Flat and a dense web of forest roads like Yankee Road and Bowrey Road indicate ongoing land use and recreation within the Boise Basin. Local history and geology are further illuminated by family-named or descriptive landmarks like Stierman Gulch, Johnny Woods Gulch, and Deadhorse Gulch.
