1915 Map of Pine

About this map

The Snake River carves a deep boundary at the eastern edge of this landscape, where the Oregon-Washington Railroad & Navigation Co line follows its winding course past Robinette and Mineral Sta. Inland, the economy of the early twentieth century is written in the network of mountain settlements like Halfway and Richland situated along Pine Creek and the Powder River. The map reveals a region defined by extraction and remote homesteading, featuring the Poorman Mine and Sunder Mine tucked into the hills of the Whitman National Forest. Local life is anchored by small rural institutions, including the Pheasant Ridge School and Sunnyside School, while family operations like Ritchies Ranch are scattered across the terrain. From the high peaks of Little Lookout Mtn to the ferry crossings on the river, the survey documents a period when rugged travel and resource discovery shaped Baker County.
