About this map

Little Summit Prairie forms a high-elevation grassland expanse in this 2011 survey, shaped by a complex network of seasonal drainages and springs. The landscape is defined by its water management and ranching history, evidenced by Corral Reservoir, Bee Reservoir, and Camp Reservoir positioned along Dipping Vat Creek and Dry Paulina Creek. These features, alongside named springs like Quicksand Spring and Higgins Spring, reflect the vital importance of water resources in the high desert environment.

Logging and resource extraction routes crisscross the terrain, including Hewed Logging Rd and Arvid Nelson Rd. Prominent landmarks such as Paulina Butte and Roba Butte provide vertical relief against the meadowlands, while the Little Summit Campground marks a point of recreational access along Little Summit Creek. The road network, such as Roba Butte Rd and S Boundary Rd, suggests a landscape primarily managed for forestry and grazing.
