Most efficient way to make a board

[Jamerack]

I'm making a board for a dungeon crawler game I am making, and he way I have done it is extremely inefficient and time wasting, so I was wondering if there is any other way to make a board. I have the way I made my board down below.

cout << "----------"<<boardSpaces[172]<<boardSpaces[173]<<boardSpaces[174]<<"----------\n";
    cout << "|"<<boardSpaces[151]<<boardSpaces[152]<<boardSpaces[153]<<boardSpaces[154]<<boardSpaces[155]<<boardSpaces[156]<<boardSpaces[157]<<boardSpaces[158]<<boardSpaces[159]<<boardSpaces[160]<<boardSpaces[162]<<boardSpaces[162]<<boardSpaces[163]<<boardSpaces[164]<<boardSpaces[165]<<boardSpaces[166]<<boardSpaces[167]<<boardSpaces[168]<<boardSpaces[169]<<boardSpaces[170]<<boardSpaces[171]<<"|\n";
    cout << "|"<<boardSpaces[130]<<boardSpaces[131]<<boardSpaces[132]<<boardSpaces[133]<<boardSpaces[134]<<boardSpaces[135]<<boardSpaces[136]<<boardSpaces[137]<<boardSpaces[138]<<boardSpaces[139]<<boardSpaces[140]<<boardSpaces[141]<<boardSpaces[142]<<boardSpaces[143]<<boardSpaces[144]<<boardSpaces[145]<<boardSpaces[146]<<boardSpaces[147]<<boardSpaces[148]<<boardSpaces[149]<<boardSpaces[150]<<"|\n";

a 'for' loop perhaps???

I thought about that but I couldn't figure out how to do it

The way you have done it is not inefficient in any way other than that you had to write a lot to get it done, so that will take up lots of space in your code.
Try it this way:

cout << "----------" << boardSpace[172] << " " << boardSpace[173] <<
 " " << boardSpace[174] << "----------\n";

for (int x = 172; x - 21 > 0; x -= 21) {
    cout << '|';
    for (int v = x - 21; v < x; ++v) {
        cout << " " << boardSpace[v];
    }
    cout << " |\n";
}

cout << "----------" << boardSpace[1] << " " << boardSpace[2] <<
 " " << boardSpace[3] << "----------\n";
