2014 Map of Bridgeport

About this map

Bridgeport Valley and the surrounding high country along the Baker and Malheur county line are defined by a complex network of historic water management features. The landscape is crisscrossed by several irrigation and mining-era watercourses, including the Clarks Cr Ditch, Wendt Ditch, and Eldorado Ditch, which speak to the area's intensive historical efforts to divert water for local industry and agriculture. Small settlements such as Bridgeport, Clarksville, and Eldorado are connected by rugged corridors like the Mormon Basin Rd and the Snake Riv-Mormon Basn Bck Cntry Bywy. Genealogists and local historians can locate the Bridgeport Cem near the Burnt River and the Malheur Cem further south, providing specific points of interest for family research in this high-elevation region of Eastern Oregon.
