1957 Map of Durkee

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

Oregon Trail traces a historic path through the high desert and mountain terrain of Baker County, running parallel to the modern corridor of Highway 30 and the Union Pacific Railroad. The settlement of Durkee serves as a central hub along the Burnt River, while smaller locales like Weatherby and Nelson mark the transport route as it winds between the heights of Big Lookout Mtn and Baldy Mtn. The landscape is etched with the evidence of early industry and community, from the Gold Ridge Mine and a local Quarry to rural education sites like Plano School and Weatherby School. Water sources such as Black Springs, Mud Spring, and Gold Hill Spring are critical landmarks in this arid environment, often associated with gulches and canyons like Kuykendall Gulch and Timber Canyon that define the drainage patterns of the Burnt River Valley.
