About this map

Pleasant Valley and the small settlement of Oxman anchor the southern portion of this Baker County landscape, situated along a transportation corridor defined by Old Hwy 30 and Alder Creek. The terrain is defined by a dense network of drainage systems and man-made water management features, reflecting the ranching and agricultural heritage of eastern Oregon. Numerous reservoirs and waterholes are named across the territory, including Wendt Reservoir, Pierce Waterhole, and the uniquely named Ant Waterhole, which provide essential resources for the high-country range.

Local access is maintained through a series of named rural routes such as Hixon Rd, Kitchen Creek Rd, and Hill Creek Rd. These roads follow the natural contours of the land, connecting the valley settlements to the higher elevations drained by Straw Ranch Creek, Low Creek, and Unity Creek. The map documents a period where traditional water management remains central to the region's geographic identity and infrastructure.
