About this map

Lime and Weatherby anchor this Baker County corridor where the Burnt River carves a path through the high desert terrain. The landscape is defined by its water sources, with numerous named springs such as Walnut Spring, Smith Spring, and Lucky Spring scattered across the slopes of Weatherby Mtn and Morgan Mtn. This map documents a region with deep ties to western transit, notably along Oregon Trail Blvd and the path of modern transport that follows the river's natural canyon.

Local history is preserved at the Lime Dixie Cem and through distinctive topographic labels like Caribou Bar and Storie Gulch. The complex network of draws and gulches, including Binder Gulch and Anderson Gulch, illustrates the drainage patterns that have shaped the settlement and ranching history of the area. Roadways such as Doman Rd and Rye Valley Ln connect the isolated peaks and watering spots that were vital to the early development of this Oregon interior.
