Explore McCammon, Idaho, with this interactive street and satellite map.
This page also offers TOPO MAPS — the official USGS topographic sheets — plus USGS aerial imagery, a labelled USNG grid overlay, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS grid-reference readout. See How to Use This Map below.
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for McCammon, Idaho. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture. Drag the map to pan to any area of Idaho or beyond.
Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).
TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the official USGS topographic maps from The National Map — contours, hydrography, land cover and shaded relief, the same mapping used for hiking, hunting and back-country navigation in the Adirondacks, the Catskills and the Finger Lakes. Imagery shows USGS aerial photography, mostly 1-metre NAIP. The search box finds any US town, county or landmark by name, so you are not limited to McCammon.
Reading the map like a paper quad. Click Grid to overlay the U.S. National Grid (USNG), labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass.
Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as a USNG grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — USNG being the format FEMA and US search and rescue teams work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need cell coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load.

McCammon commands the high-desert landscape where the Portneuf River carves a deliberate path through the sagebrush plains. It lies 19.9 miles southeast of Pocatello, ID (from Pocatello, ID: bearing 140°T), and is situated 23.2 miles southeast of Chubbuck. The air here holds a thin, crystalline quality, sharpening the silhouette of Haystack Mountain as it rises six miles to the east like a sentinel over the valley floor. To the west, the contours of Mullen Canyon define the local horizon, an arid stretch of earth where the sun bleaches the grasses to a pale, brittle gold by mid-August. Travelers passing through find the terrain dominated by the quiet resilience of bunchgrass and the vast, unobstructed sky that turns a deep, bruised violet as evening settles over the basin.
Railroads and the steady hum of agriculture shaped the development of McCammon, leaving behind a legacy of iron tracks and expansive, furrowed fields that define the regional economy. The proximity of the Indian Rocks Area of Critical Environmental Concern offers a stark reminder of the geological forces that once churned this land, while the distant, shimmering surface of Horse Lake provides a rare point of stillness nineteen miles away. Life here moves with the deliberate pace of the seasons, dictated by the planting and harvest cycles that have sustained the local inhabitants for generations. In the quiet hours of the afternoon, the silence of the high plains feels heavy and ancient, grounding the modern day in the enduring, rocky character of the Idaho interior.

Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any US town, county or landmark by name; offers USGS topographic maps and USGS aerial imagery as base layers; overlays a labelled U.S. National Grid (USNG) so the map can be read like a printed topographic quad; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as a USNG grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require cell coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.
Location data is drawn from the USGS Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) and cross-verified against 2020 US Census records by coordinate proximity. Population figures are sourced from the 2020 US Census.
