2014 Map of Horse Prairie

About this map

Fremont National Forest dominates this section of the High Desert, where high-elevation meadowlands and vital water sources defined early ranching and forestry. Notable settlements and stopping points like Horse Prairie, Whiskey Flat, and Summit Prairie are centers of gravity in a landscape carved by Camas Cr and Whiskey Cr. The distribution of natural and improved water sources, including Parallel Spring and Hickey Reservoir, illustrates the essential infrastructure required for survival and industry in this arid environment. Roads like the Warner Hwy and State Hwy 140 (also marked as Or-140) provide the primary transit through the forest, connecting these isolated flats and springs. Local history researchers can trace the movement of livestock and timber through landmarks such as Rosger Meadow and Bowers Bridge Cr, providing insight into the seasonal use of these mountain basins.
