About this map

Pine Valley and the surrounding high country of the Whitman National Forest define this landscape, where the settlements of Carson and Jimtown sit at the intersection of mountain terrain and agricultural water systems. The map illustrates a complex network of water management, featuring several engineered waterways like Brooks Ditch, Foothill Ditch, and the historic Mining Channel. These features indicate a long-standing reliance on irrigation and water diversion to support life in this corner of Baker County.

The presence of the Cornucopia Hwy and numerous National Forest Development roads, such as NFD Road 77 Rd, provide access into the steep elevations near Summit Point and along the numerous creeks like Pine Cr and Clear Cr. Local history is visible in the naming of rural routes and family landmarks, including Allstead Ln, McFadden Ln, and Goodman Sawmill Ln, which point to the area's timber and ranching heritage.
