2023 Map of High Prairie

About this map

The Sawtooth National Forest dominates the northern reaches of this landscape, where the terrain descends from timbered heights toward the broad expanses of the Camas Prairie. This transition is defined by a series of drainage networks, including Biswell Creek, Big Springs Creek, and Wild Horse Creek, which carve through the high country before meeting the Malad River and Camas Creek in the valley below. The small settlement of High Prairie sits at a crossroads of rural routes like Louise Creek Rd and High Prairie Rd, serving as a central point for the ranching and agricultural operations that define the area. To the south, the topography rises again into the Mount Bennett Hills, where the deep incision of Hall Gulch marks a return to more broken, upland ground. The network of local roads, such as Co Line School Rd and Tracy Rd, reflects the sparse but organized settlement pattern characteristic of this portion of Elmore County.
