2020 Map of High Prairie

About this map

High Prairie sits on a plateau in Elmore County, where the southern boundary of the Sawtooth National Forest meets the open rangeland of the Mount Bennett Hills. This 2020 record of the landscape reveals a region defined by water management and transit through the high desert, with the Malad River and Camas Cr carving paths through the southern terrain. The area is marked by historic land divisions and remote infrastructure, including the S Bar Ranch Airport and the seasonal flows of Moores Spring at Moores Flat. A network of local roads like High Prairie Rd and Co Line School Rd connects the scattered homesteads and ranches, providing a look at modern Idaho land use where public forest land transitions into private holdings.
