About this map

Pine Valley and the surrounding drainage of the Snake River basin define this landscape on the Oregon-Idaho border. The town of Halfway and the nearby Baker County Fairgrounds serve as the agricultural and community anchors of the northwest corner, while the small settlement of Pine sits just north of the Pine Valley Airport. The terrain descends through several named gulches and canyons, such as Little Timber Canyon and Foster Gulch, eventually meeting the expansive waters of the Brownlee Reservoir near the southern edge of the survey.

Transport and water management are central to this area's layout, with local routes like Pine Town Ln and Sag Rd connecting isolated homesteads and reservoirs. Historical land use is evident in the naming of features like The Sag and the series of gulches including Ruth Gulch and East Tarter Gulch. The reservoir's shoreline near Robinette highlights the intersection of modern recreation and the modified river system in this corner of Baker County.
