About this map

Distinctive volcanic rises and drainage patterns define this corner of the Snake River Plain along the boundary of Clark and Jefferson Counties. Elevated features like Cedar Butte and Camas Butte break the surrounding landscape, providing essential topographic landmarks in a region largely characterized by wide open spaces like Dutch Flat. The presence of Rock Lakes and seasonal drainages such as Cottonwood Cr and Beaver Cr illustrate the hydrological character of this arid environment.

Transportation through the area is facilitated by a network of rural routes including Snake River Plain Rd and Beaver Creek Rd. The southern portion of the map is particularly focused on access to regional resources, indicated by the path of Camas Refuge Rd and Camas Monteview Rd. These thoroughfares connect the scattered geological features and small water bodies that have likely served as important points of reference for local land use and ranching.
