1893 Map of Camas Prairie

USGS Topo · Published 1922

About this map

Pine Grove stands as a primary settlement point in this high-altitude landscape surveyed in the late 19th century, situated near the northern bend of the Boise River. The topography transitions from the timbered reaches of the Boise National Forest and Sawtooth National Forest into a series of distinctive plateaus, including Little Camas Prairie, High Prairie, and the namesake Camas Prairie. The drainage patterns here are remarkably detailed, showing how water moves through the canyons of Little Canon Creek and King Hill Creek south toward the Snake River. This 1889 survey captures the region before extensive modernization, emphasizing the natural grazing lands and the intricate network of watercourses like Bennett Creek and Athol Creek that defined early ranching and transit corridors across Elmore, Camas, and Gooding counties.
