1989 Map of Baker

About this map

Baker sits at the heart of this high-desert valley landscape in Lemhi County, situated where the Lemhi River serves as the primary drainage for numerous mountain tributaries. The map reveals a complex hydraulic network defined by irrigation and local ranching interests, with the river valley flanked by the steep foothills of the Salmon National Forest. Named drainages like Bohannon Creek, Wimpey Creek, and Haynes Creek cut through the terrain, suggesting the importance of water rights and seasonal flows in this part of Idaho. Evidence of early resource extraction and land use is visible through several labeled features, including a Prospect and an Adit in the northern hills, while a modern Radio Tower and Sub Station indicate the mid-20th-century infrastructure developments that supported this rural community. The concentration of development along the valley floor contrasts sharply with the untamed eastern slopes leading toward West Fork Sandy Creek.
