Boise Meridian Initial Point
from Viewpoints – Placecloud (English) Hosted by Babak Fakhamzadeh

The selection of this volcanic butte 20 miles from Boise City as the Initial Point for a survey of the Idaho Territory in 1867 was due to the isolation of its prominence, and that it was far enough west that the meridian would extend northward through the narrow panhandle of the territory all the way to the Canadian border.
