About this map

The agricultural plateau of Camas Prairie dominates this Idaho landscape, where the settlement of Cottonwood serves as a local hub. This survey illustrates a well-defined rural infrastructure, featuring the Cottonwood Municipal Airport and a network of schools including Cottonwood Sch and Prairie Sch. The northern portion of the map is bisected by the Nez Perce Indian Reservation Boundary, a significant administrative marker that influences the local land survey.

Watercourses such as Cottonwood Creek and Stockney Creek carve through the prairie, leading toward more varied terrain like Hanley Gulch. For those researching local family history, the map provides precise locations for St Anthony Cemetery near Greencreek and the Cottonwood Cemetery on the edge of town. Industrial activity is noted through scattered resources like a Sand pit and several gravel extractions, highlighting the region's reliance on its natural geology.
