About this map

McCammon serves as the central hub of this late-1960s Idaho landscape, positioned at the critical junction of the Union Pacific railroad and the Portneuf River. The map reveals a complex water management system, where the Portneuf Marsh Valley Canal and Marsh Creek traverse the wide floor of Marsh Valley. To the east, the terrain rises sharply into the Caribou Range and the Caribou National Forest, carved by numerous drainages like Robbers Roost Creek and Harkness Creek.

Cultural history is prominently marked by the Old Indian Treaty Bdy cutting through the valley, reflecting early land divisions. Local landmarks include ancient Petroglyphs and a Cem near the river, alongside modern infrastructure like a Radio Tower and Gaging Station. The landscape is also defined by its recreational and natural resources, featuring Indian Rocks State Park and various Gravel Pits and Borrow Pits that suggest local industry.
