2011 Map of Encina

About this map

Encina and Pleasant Valley anchor this Baker County corridor, where modern infrastructure follows the historical path of Old Hwy 30. The landscape is defined by the drainage systems of the Virtue Hills, with numerous seasonal and perennial watercourses like Quartz Creek, Dry Creek, and Dogtown Creek carving through the terrain. A notable cultural landmark is the Pleasant Valley Cemetery, situated near the confluence of Alder Creek and its tributaries. The map details a complex network of rural access roads, including Dry Creek Rd and Ebell Creek Rd, which provide a clear picture of the modern land use and historical transit patterns across this high-desert environment. The presence of Alder Creek Spring and named features like Dry Gulch highlight the importance of water management in this arid stretch of eastern Oregon.
