2020 Map of Macon

About this map

Camas Prairie provides the geographic foundation for this high-desert region in Blaine and Camas counties, where the high-altitude agricultural landscape meets the southern Mount Bennett Hills. This 2020 survey documents the rural character of the settlements at Macon and Blaine, which are situated along the winding course of Camas Creek. The map shows a transition from the level terrain of Macon Flat to the more complex water systems including Kelly Reservoir, Macon Lake, and several small tributaries like Fricke Cr and Willow Creek. Transport patterns are defined by the Macon Flat Rd and the significant river crossings at the Blaine Bridge and the Macon-Sheep Bridge. These crossings and the irrigation features like Chicken Spring highlight the historical reliance on water management in this high-plains environment.
