The boise region has a lot of different physical characteristic that are seen in the sorrounding areas which are quite a few. The Boise are is surrounded by rugged mountains, platues which created canyons because of the erosion from natural water, and valley low lands. In this sense we can say that Boise has a varied topography just like in the Appalachia and the Ozark regions which had their simalarities. The 2002 Census of Agriculture by the USDA reports that twenty-two percent of the land or 11.77 million acres (47,630 km²) in Idaho is used for agricultural purposes. The average farm size is 470 acres (1.9 km²) and the average age of the farm operator is 54.1 years (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agriculture_in_Idaho). Transportation in the Boise area is very simple and straight forward. Nampa located west lies around 10 miles west of boise, taking the 84 highway east will get to you to boise in 15 minutes. Most of the highways on the outsides of town are the ones crossing mountains , canyons, over rivers to make it easy to transport through the rugged and different aspects of the physical barrier that the environment imposes on the population.
