1901 Map of Baker City

About this map

Baker City serves as the focal point of this Eastern Oregon survey, situated at the meeting of the Baker Valley and the steep mountain gulches to the west. The landscape is defined by its industrial transit networks, most notably the Oregon Railroad and Navigation Company and the Sumpter Valley Railroad, which facilitated the movement of ore and timber from the surrounding highlands. Mining activity is prominently recorded at the Flagstaff Mine and Virtue Mine on Virtue Flat, highlighting the mineral-rich nature of the terrain during this era.
