About this map

Camas Meadows dominates the eastern half of this 1970s survey, marking a significant transition between the high peaks of the Targhee National Forest and the lower drainage basins of Clark County. The settlement of Kilgore sits at the intersection of several water systems, including Camas Creek, Ching Creek, and Warm Creek. The landscape is defined by its water management and recreational use, evidenced by the East Camas Campground near Waters Flat and the presence of numerous springs like those feeding into Crooked Creek.

Upland areas to the west are characterized by steep drainages such as Bear Gulch and McGarry Canyon, leading up toward the prominent Table Mountain. Economic activity is visible through scattered prospects and a Gravel Pit, while a network of pack trails and jeep trails suggests a territory utilized for both grazing and mountain transit. The survey provides a clear view of the complex hydrology of the East Fork and West Camas Creek before they converge in the meadows.
