==Education==
Idanha is served by the [[Santiam Canyon School District]].<ref>[http://www.santiam.k12.or.us Santiam Canyon School District]</ref>

==Transportation==
Idanha served as the eastern terminus of a [[transcontinental railroad]], proposed by Colonel [[T. Egenton Hogg]], that terminated in Idanha because of a lack of funding.  Idanha saw rail service until the 1950s, when the track was removed for development of [[Detroit Lake]], situated over the historical roadbed of the former [[Oregon Pacific Railroad (1880–1894)|Oregon Pacific Railroad]].<ref>{{cite web|title=Oregon Pacific Railroad|url=http://www.trainweb.org/highdesertrails/oprr.html|website=TrainWeb|access-date=September 17, 2020}}</ref>

==Santiam Fire==
Idanha was one of the small cities in the Santiam Canyon impacted by a group of wildfires which converged and were later known collectively as the [[Santiam Fire]].  The Lionshead Wildfire had ignited on August 16, 2020, within the nearby Willamette National Forest.  It continued burning in the wilderness area with limited intervention by firefighters due to the difficult terrain, slowly growing in size until September 7, 2020, when strong east winds reaching {{Convert|50|mph}} drove the wildfire east through the canyon in which the town of Idanha and several others are located.  Chaotic evacuations were ordered during the night of September 7–8, 2020. The Idanha-Detroit Rural Fire Protection District, which serves the cities of Idanha and Detroit, was pivotal in notifying sleeping residents of the evacuations and attempting to manage numerous small fires which had sprung up due to electrical lines coming down in the strong wind, with limited success.  Unfortunately the city of Detroit was almost entirely destroyed, and the fire department itself suffered the loss of their administrative office and two fire trucks.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.idanhadetroitfire.com/about-our-district | title=About our District }}</ref>  Over the coming days, the wildfire would converge with several others in the area and become known as the Santiam Wildfire, destroying 402,274 acres (162,795 ha), among the worst in Oregon's history. <ref>{{cite web | url=https://storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/9bef52ae64434664bdacf88efd6f030f | title=Lionshead Fire | date=October 15, 2020 }}</ref>
