1994 Map of Oxman

About this map

Pleasant Valley and Oxman anchor the southern reaches of this Baker County landscape, where the terrain is defined by a dense network of high-elevation drainages. Water flows through numerous named systems including Pritchard Creek, Straw Ranch Creek, and Alder Creek, reflecting the importance of water rights in this high-desert environment. The map details a landscape managed for resource extraction and utility, marked by a prominent Pipeline that traverses the valley floor parallel to the primary creek beds. Evidence of mineral exploration is visible in several Prospects and a Mine located in the western hills, while the presence of a Corral and numerous 4wd tracks suggests a region utilized for ranching and remote access. This 1994 revision clarifies the path of the Alder Creek drainage and the infrastructure connecting these high-altitude settlements.
