About this map

Camas Prairie defines the central landscape of this Idaho quadrangle, where the meandering course of Camas Creek links the small settlements of Blaine and Macon. The map illustrates a rural interior shaped by water and transport, featuring two distinct crossings of the creek: the Blaine Bridge and the Macon Sheep Bridge, the latter reflecting the region's historical livestock economy. Elevation increases significantly toward the southern boundary at the Mount Bennett Hills, creating a stark contrast to the level expanses of Macon Flat.

Water management is evident through features like Kelly Reservoir and the natural basin of Macon Lake. Land use is further revealed by infrastructure such as Princess Mine Rd, indicating past or present mineral exploration in the foothills. Smaller drainage systems like Minnehaha Cr, Fricke Cr, and Lava Cr carve through the terrain, while reliable water sources like Chicken Spring dot the higher ground near the county line.
