1972 Map of Unity

About this map

Unity sits at the confluence of several vital water systems in this part of Baker County, where the Burnt River and Job Creek feed into the Unity Reservoir. The landscape is a mix of agricultural infrastructure and mountain resources, evidenced by the Elms Ditch irrigation network and the Whitman National Forest boundary. Local education and community life are anchored at the Burnt River High Sch and the Unity Cem, while the industrial character of the region is reflected in the Dredge Tailings along Shirts Creek and the presence of the Record Mine. The map also highlights mid-century recreation and transit, featuring Unity Lake State Park, complete with a Picnic Area and Campground, alongside the Ellingson Landing Strip.
