2024 Map of Camas Prairie

About this map

Camas Prairie Basin forms a distinct topographical bowl in this part of Sanders County, where the settlement of Camas Prairie serves as the primary landmark. The landscape is defined by the sharp transition between the open basin floor and the rising slopes of the Cabinet Mountains to the west. This modern survey tracks the intricate drainage network of the area, including Whiskey Creek and Camas Creek, along with several notable incisions such as Whiskey Gulch and Coppedge Gulch. The road network, including family-named routes like Fitchett Rd and utility access ways like Ferry Crossing Basin 2000, reveals the contemporary land management patterns. Local history and genealogy researchers can trace the reach of the prairie relative to the surrounding high country and various draws like Wilcox Draw.
