About this map

Camas Prairie defines the central landscape of this Idaho quadrangle, where high-desert agriculture meets the rising topography of the Mount Bennett Hills to the south. The irrigation needs of this arid region are evident in the management of local waterways, including Spring Cr Reservoir and Neilsen Reservoir, which capture runoff from seasonal drainages like Daugherty Cr and Minear Cr.

Settlement patterns follow the grid of section lines and range roads, with the small communities of Selby and Rands serving as local hubs for the surrounding ranchlands. To the west, the Manard Cem sits near the base of the hills, marking a point of long-standing local history. The convergence of Camas Creek and several smaller tributaries across the prairie illustrates the complex drainage system necessary to sustain the area's grazing and farming operations.
