1963 Map of High Prairie

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

The Sawtooth National Forest dominates the northern landscape of this Elmore County survey, where the high desert terrain meets established grazing routes. The presence of the Sheep Drive Trail and various Jeep Trails underscores the region's importance for seasonal livestock movement during the mid-20th century. Between the high plateaus of High Prairie and the lower expanse of Camas Prairie, a network of seasonal watercourses like Wild Horse Creek and Negro Creek feed into the Malad River. Grounded in field checks from 1963, the map reveals a sparsely populated ranching landscape punctuated by isolated landmarks such as Lobby and working sites like a Gravel Pit. The southern boundary is defined by the rising elevations of the Mount Bennett Hills, creating a distinct topographical corridor for the Camas Creek drainage.
