About this map

The agricultural plateau of Camas Prairie dominates this 1980s landscape, centered on the small rail-aligned settlement of Reubens. Located at the boundary of Nez Perce Co and Lewis Co, the map documents a region where high-altitude farming and deep canyon drainage meet. While Reubens serves as a local hub with its Storage Bins and cemetery, smaller named locations like Kippen, Clicks, and Nucrag reflect the scattered nature of community and transport along the prairie.

Evidence of historical infrastructure is preserved in the form of an Old Railroad Grade winding through the terrain towards Big Canyon Creek. The landscape is etched by various Quarries and industrial markers like the Big Quarry, alongside numerous family-history landmarks such as Gold Ridge Cem and Coldsprings Cem. The rugged topography is defined by the descent from Golden Ridge down to Lapwai Creek, showing the transition from productive farmland to the steep breaks of the Clearwater country.
