2017 Map of High Prairie

About this map

High Prairie and Moores Flat sit atop a high plateau in Elmore County, where the southern boundary of the Sawtooth National Forest meets the northern edge of the Mount Bennett Hills. This high-altitude landscape is defined by the headwaters of several drainages, including Wild Horse Cr and Negro Cr, which flow south toward the Camas Prairie. The southern portion of the map reveals the meandering courses of the Malad River and Camas Cr, illustrating the complex hydrology of this transitional zone between forest and steppe. Traces of local infrastructure, such as Co Line School Rd and the high-elevation High Prairie Rd, indicate the historical importance of access routes for ranching and forest management in this sparsely populated interior of Idaho.
