2011 Map of Lime

About this map

The Burnt River canyon dictates the movement of people and commerce through this corner of Baker County, Oregon. In 2011, the communities of Lime, Dixie, and Weatherby followed the winding path of the river, which is paralleled by major transportation infrastructure. The landscape is characterized by its high-desert water management, as evidenced by features like Triangle Reservoir, Juniper Mountain Waterhole, and Watering Trough Draw. Local history is anchored at the Lime-Dixie Cemetery, while names like Arrastra Gulch and Caribou Bar suggest the area's legacy of resource extraction. In the eastern portion of the map, the terrain rises toward Morgan Mountain, punctuated by remote springs such as Montezuma Spring and Benson Spring.
