About this map

Camas Prairie dominates this Idaho landscape during the mid-1980s, revealing a region defined by its water resources and recreation. The sprawling Magic Reservoir serves as a focal point, fed by the Big Wood River and Camas Creek. Along its northern shores, small settlements such as Moonstone Landing, Hot Springs Landing, and Magic Resort mark the seasonal activity of the era, supported by infrastructure like a Landing Strip and Trailer Parks.

An Abandoned Railroad cuts across the flatlands, tracing a former transport corridor through the desert terrain. The map is particularly rich in hydrological details, naming numerous water sources such as Water Cress Spring, Cold Spring, and Pofferman Spring. In the rugged northern and southern reaches, landmarks like Moonstone Mountain, Lava Canyon, and Horse Mountain provide significant vertical relief against the wide-open prairie floor.
