2017 Map of Oxman

About this map

Pleasant Valley and the small settlement of Oxman anchor this high-desert landscape in Baker County, where water management is the primary story. The map reveals an intricate network of livestock and agricultural water sources, including distinctive names like Truscot Waterhole, Pierce Waterhole, and Cow Waterhole. These localized features, alongside numerous lettered reservoirs such as T Reservoir and Wendt Reservoir, illustrate the critical importance of range management and water rights in this arid corridor. Modern transit follows the historical path of Old US Hwy 30, which cuts through the southern portion of the quadrangle. The terrain is defined by drainages like Straw Ranch Cr and Pritchard Cr, which flow through the undulating hills between Hixon Rd and Hill Creek Rd.
