About this map

The town of Hot Springs and the nearby settlement of Camas anchor this mid-1960s landscape, where natural thermal features and engineered water systems define the valley's character. The presence of the Camas Canal and the Hot Springs Substa highlights the intersection of local agriculture and utility infrastructure during this era. Historical researchers will find several localized burial sites, including Ventling Cem and Maillet Cem, which offer significant value for genealogical study in Sanders County.

Terrain features such as Burke Hill and Markle Hill frame the Camas Prairie Basin, while water sources like Cottonwood Creek and Welcome Spring provide a clear view of the area's hydrology. The map also records early recreational and industrial sites, from the Campground near Rainbow Lake to various gravel pits, illustrating a community balanced between natural resource extraction and its burgeoning identity as a thermal destination.
