2024 Map of Sunrise Spring

About this map

Camas Prairie Basin serves as the focal point of this landscape, where the flat floor of the basin meets the rising slopes of the Cabinet Mountains. The area is defined by a network of drainage systems including Camas Creek and Micharl Creek, which flow through a mix of open land and the wooded reaches of the Lolo National Forest. For genealogists and local historians, the map is particularly valuable for its placement of three distinct burial grounds: Pluffe Cem, Hoministo Cem, and the Camas Prairie Cem. These sites, along with family-named landmarks like Green Springs and Sunrise Spring, offer a clear look at the settlement patterns in this part of Sanders County. The transition from the rugged Hugo Canyon to the structured grid of forest service roads like Camas 6000 illustrates the intersection of natural topography and land management.
