1892 Map of Camas Prairie

USGS Topo · Published 1892

About this map

Pine Grove stands as a focal point in this 1889 survey of Elmore County, situated at a transition between the deep canyons of the Boise River and the high plateaus to the south. The landscape is defined by its series of distinct tablelands, including the wide Camas Prairie and the neighboring Little Camas Prairie and High Prairie. These plains are carved by a network of drainage systems, most notably the Malad River and the deeply incised King Hill Creek, which flow toward the southern boundary along the Snake River. This reconnaissance map reflects the early territorial mapping of Idaho just before statehood, revealing an era when travel through this region relied on finding natural passages between the steep grades of Little Cañon Creek and the springs found at Cold Spring Creek.
