About this map

Baker City serves as the focal point of this Eastern Oregon landscape, where the urban grid meets the agricultural expanse of the Baker Valley. The town's historical and civic importance is anchored by the Baker County Courthouse, while the surrounding terrain is defined by an intricate network of irrigation and water management, including the Powder River, Corral Ditch, and McCord Ditch. This system of waterways reflects a long-standing reliance on diverted water for the valley's productivity.

To the east and south, the topography shifts from the flatlands of Missouri Flat toward more prominent features such as Coyote Peak. Notable landmarks for local history researchers include the Mount Hope Cem and the Baker City Municipal Airport. The map also captures the transition from settled streets like Broadway St and Auburn Ave to the outlying reaches of Spring Grove Gulch and the Baker Municipal Aqueduct.
