1963 Map of Fenn

About this map

Camas Prairie defines the northern plateau of this 1963 survey, where the small settlement of Fenn sits along the roadway before the landscape drops dramatically into the deep drainages of Rocky Canyon. The map illustrates a sharp transition from the agricultural level lands of the prairie to the steep, complex terrain of the Idaho interior. In the southern portion of the sheet, the Salmon River carves a winding path through the canyon floor, marked by the turbulent Pine Bar Rapids and the confluence of Cottonwood Creek. Numerous named gulches, such as VonBerge Gulch and Ray Church Gulch, underscore the fractured nature of the geography leading down to the river. Remote springs like Murdicks Spring and high points like Hogback Ridge provide essential landmarks for navigating this vertical landscape between the prairie and the basin.
