1986 Map of Baker

About this map

The high-desert settlement of Baker sits near the base of the Snake Range during the mid-1980s, serving as a gateway for the agricultural and natural features of eastern White Pine County. The landscape is defined by the drainage patterns of Silver Creek, Weaver Creek, and Lehman Creek, which flow toward the Nevada-Utah state line. A distinctive geological transition is recorded at the Sinks of Baker Creek, where the waterway disappears into the subterranean limestone system. This survey captures the infrastructure of the era, including a local Landing Strip, several Gravel Pits, and the Baker Reservoir, reflecting a community centered on water management and ranching operations. The presence of a Trailer Park near the town center indicates the modest residential and seasonal growth of this remote interior basin.
