About this map

Wimer and the neighboring settlements of Pleasant Valley and Evans Valley anchor this landscape along the winding course of Evans Creek. The terrain is defined by a dense network of gulches and ridges, including French Gulch and Harris Gulch to the north, and Greens Gulch near the community center. Agricultural and water management history is evident through features like Yeoman Ditch and Red Ditch, alongside several small impoundments such as Jackson Reservoir and Badcock Reservoir.

Transportation routes are deeply tied to the topography, with Covered Bridge Rd and Pleasant Creek Rd following the valley floors, while Battle Mountain Fire Rd traverses the higher elevations. The boundary between Josephine and Jackson Counties runs north-south through the western portion of the map, cutting across high points like Elk Mtn. This record provides a clear view of the rural infrastructure in southwestern Oregon, from the Springbrook Airport to the numerous gaps like China Gap and Coker Gap that dictate movement through the hills.
