2020 Map of Horse Prairie

About this map

The high meadows and dense timber of the Fremont National Forest define this landscape in Lake County, where seasonal hydrology and recreation intersect. Isolated flats and clearings like Horse Prairie, Whiskey Flat, and Summit Prairie provide natural breaks in the forested terrain, often associated with perennial water sources such as Harrison Spring and Twin Spring. The map documents a complex network of winter recreation routes, including the Warner Snowmobile Trail and Nordic Trail #146D (Snow), which utilize the forest's topographic contours and fire roads. High-elevation drainage is managed through several creeks, including Camas Creek and Crane Creek, the latter feeding into Hickey Reservoir and Crane Lake. In the southeast, the terrain opens into Big Valley, where Deep Creek and Burnt Creek converge, illustrating the transition from steep timbered ridges to broader basin drainage patterns.
