Hubbard Scientific Boise, Idaho regional raised relief map
This three-dimensional vinyl map is split more or less evenly between Oregon and Idaho, and shows a portion of eastern Oregon at left and southwestern Idaho at right. The title city of Boise is at middle right, near the edge, with the Snake River Valley dominating much of the right side. The Owyhee Mountains are dominant in the middle of the map, and Lake Owyhee is the most noticeable feature in the left third. Malheur River runs across the upper left corner.
Maps in this series show elevation contours, with a green tint showing the extent of woodlands. Water features such as lakes, ponds, creeks, marshes, canals, and shorelines (where present) are indicated in detail. Shows roads and highways of all classes, and sometimes trails. Railroads are also shown. National, state, provincial, and county boundaries are demarcated, as are other boundaries such as parks and wildlife refuges. Other features shown in this series are mines, airstrips and airports, isolated landmark buildings, lookout towers, and more. The maps are lined with the UTM grid at 1000 meter intervals.
Few of the maps in this series are recently published. The manufacturer, Hubbard Scientific, uses data from the US Geological Survey, but USGS rarely updates any of the maps in this series; most use data 20 to 40 years old. You get them for the depiction of the topography, which rarely changes, not for current roads and city boundaries. In fact, many of them have an added appeal for their historical interest. See below for date of the map described on this page.
