1986 Map of Macon

About this map

Camas Prairie defines the northern reaches of this central Idaho landscape, where the settlements of Macon and Blaine sit along the winding course of Camas Creek. The map documents a transition in transportation and water management during the mid-1980s, most notably featuring a prominent Abandoned Railroad that parallels the creek through the valley floor. This rail line once served the agricultural interests of the Macon Flat region, a broad expanse that stretches south toward volcanic features like Lava Creek. Hydrological patterns are central to the area's character, with numerous drainages such as Willow Creek, Camp Creek, and Minnehaha Creek flowing from the higher elevations to the north. Man-made interventions in this arid environment are evident at Kelly Reservoir and the more localized Macon Lake, illustrating the vital role of water storage for the high-altitude ranching and farming communities of Camas County.
