2017 Map of Baker

About this map

The settlement of Baker serves as a focal point within the Lemhi Valley, where the Lemhi River carves a fertile path between the high elevations of the Lemhi Range and the western edge of the Salmon National Forest. This 2017 topographic survey highlights the enduring rural infrastructure of Lemhi County, where modern transit routes often follow historical paths, such as the Red Rock Stage Rd and the Old Baker Hwy. Numerous family-named landmarks and ranch roads, including Skinner Ranch Rd, Mulkey Ln, and Bowman Ln, offer a record of local land use and ownership. The map documents a complex drainage system feeding the river, with prominent watercourses like Bohannon Cr, Wimpey Cr, and Pratt Cr descending from the surrounding heights to the valley floor.
