2017 Map of Macon

About this map

Camas Prairie defines the high-altitude landscape of this Idaho quadrangle, where the tiny settlements of Blaine and Macon sit near the winding course of Camas Creek. This 2017 survey details a landscape where livestock and water management take precedence over urban development. The topography shifts from the level expanses of Macon Flat to the rising elevations of the Mount Bennett Hills in the south. Connectivity in this area is marked by utilitarian crossings like the Blaine Bridge and the Macon Sheep Bridge, the latter highlighting the region's enduring sheep ranching heritage. Local water sources including Kelly Reservoir, Macon Lake, and the small Chicken Spring provide essential points of reference across the high desert terrain. Notable roads such as Lanman Rd and Macon Flat Rd trace old section lines, connecting remote homesteads and grazing lands along the Camas Co Blaine Co Line Rd.
