About this map

Baker sits at the heart of this Lemhi County landscape, positioned where the Lemhi River valley creates a natural corridor for travel and settlement. The settlement is anchored by a network of historic thoroughfares including Old Lemhi Rd and the Old Baker Hwy, reflecting the area's long-standing role as a mountain valley hub. The geography is defined by numerous drainage systems flowing from the surrounding highlands, with Bohannon Creek and Wimpey Creek feeding the river from the north, while Haynes Creek and Price Creek enter from the south.

Rural infrastructure is traced through local routes like Pratt Creek Rd and Sandy Creek Rd, which follow the contours of the watercourses. The map documents a landscape where modern transportation, seen in the path of Highway 28, intersects with older bypasses like Back Rd. Researchers can identify the specific distribution of ranch and homestead access via named lanes such as Baker Ln and Wimpey Creek Rd.
