2023 Map of Horse Prairie

About this map

Fremont National Forest defines this high-elevation landscape in Lake County, where open mountain meadows and complex water systems intersect. The terrain is characterized by broad upland openings like Summit Prairie and Horse Prairie, which serve as focal points for a network of seasonal and perennial water sources including Camas Creek, Whiskey Creek, and the Hickey Reservoir. Evidence of high-country land use is visible through the extensive trail systems, such as the Crane Mtn National Recreation Trl and the Warner Snowmobile Trl, which navigate the slopes between Rogger Meadow and the edges of Big Valley. In the south and east, features like Twin Spring and Crane Lake highlight the critical role of water in this arid environment, providing essential landmarks for navigation and resource management.
