About this map

Wimer and the rural communities of Pleasant Valley and Evans Valley define the inhabited sections of this southern Oregon landscape, situated along the county line between Josephine Co and Jackson Co. The geography is shaped by a dense network of gulches and creeks, including the drainage basins of Evans Creek and Jumpoff Joe Creek. Local aviation and infrastructure are represented by Springbrook Airport and several engineered water features such as Badcock Reservoir, Zwan Reservoir, and Standard Basin Reservoir.

A series of named mountain gaps and irrigation works reflect the area's agricultural and transit history. China Gap and Coker Gap provide passage through the high ground, while the Vroman Ditch and Red Ditch signify early efforts to manage water for valley farms. The terrain rises to the west toward Elk Mountain, with numerous narrow canyons like Bummer Gulch, Dixie Gulch, and French Gulch cutting through the ridges.
