2023 Map of Wimer

About this map

Wimer sits at the heart of this Southern Oregon landscape, where the confluence of Evans Creek and Queens Branch shapes the local geography. The map documents a complex network of water management features essential to the region's development, including the Vroman Ditch, Red Ditch, and several private impoundments like Badcock Reservoir and Jackson Reservoir. These irrigation systems reflect the agricultural history of Evans Valley and Pleasant Valley, where the land transitions from fertile creek bottoms to the steep timbered slopes of Elk Mtn and the gaps of the northern ridges. The inclusion of Springbrook Airport and a detailed road network, including the specifically named Covered Bridge Rd, illustrates the modern connectivity of this rural community. Notable terrain features such as Brass Nail Gulch and Bummer Gulch provide specific landmarks for those tracing historical land use or family property boundaries across the Josephine and Jackson County line.
