1963 Map of High Prairie

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

Sawtooth National Forest dominates the northern landscape of this Idaho interior, where the transition from high timber to open range is marked by the broad expanse of High Prairie. The 1963 survey documents a remote ranching and grazing corridor, evidenced by the prominent Sheep Drive Trail winding across the northern ridges. To the south, the terrain descends toward the Camas Prairie, a distinct topographic basin defined by the confluence of the Malad River and Camas Creek. These watercourses, along with smaller tributaries like Wild Horse Creek and Negro Creek, delineate the essential drainage patterns that supported seasonal livestock movement between the high forest and the Mount Bennett Hills to the south. Local landmarks such as Moores Flat and Moores Spring anchor specific corners of this high-elevation plateau, while a network of jeep trails indicates the rugged, utilitarian access typical of the mid-century western range.
