About this map

Baker sits at the western edge of this valley landscape where Baker Run meets the Lost River. The community is anchored by the Baker Post Office and serves as a local hub for outlying settlements like Arkansas, McCauley, and the Baughman Settlement. The geography is defined by a series of parallel ridges and hollows, including Hanging Rock Ridge and Chestnut Ridge, which dictate the paths of secondary roads such as Arkansaw Rd and Pine Ridge Rd.

Water sources are central to the area's development, evidenced by features like Reed Farm Spring, Big Spring, and the Pinnacle Spring. Along the banks of the Cacapon River and its tributaries, institutional landmarks such as Camp Pinnacle and Camp Hemlock highlight the region's recreational use. The terrain remains varied with named gaps and hollows, such as Squirrel Gap and Dutch Hollow, providing passage through the steep slopes of Halfmoon Mountain.
