2017 Map of Camas Prairie

About this map

The Camas Prairie Basin of Sanders County, Montana, presents a landscape where the flat valley floor of Camas Prairie meets the rising terrain of the Bitterroot Range. This 2017 survey shows a network of local roads and cattle routes, such as Co Rd 382 and Webber Ln, that serve the agricultural and ranching operations characteristic of this region. The drainage patterns are clearly defined by Camas Cr, Clear Cr, and Whiskey Cr, which flow through the basin and are fed by several prominent ravines including Whiskey Gulch, Big Gulch, and Coppedge Gulch. The Public Land Survey System grids of t20n r24w and t19n r24w provide the framework for the area's rural development. Traces of historical land use appear in labels such as Ferry Crossing Basin 2000, marking the enduring infrastructure of the western Montana interior.
