1954 Map of Wimer

About this map

Wimer serves as the primary hub of this valley landscape, where the confluence of several prominent drainages shaped early settlement in Southern Oregon. The map documents the mid-century rural infrastructure of the Evans Valley, notably featuring the Evans Valley Sch and small community clusters like Branch and Trimble. This area is defined by its network of creeks and gulches, including the notable Jumpoff Joe Creek and the meandering Grave Creek, which flows through the northwestern corner of the quadrangle. High-elevation points like King Mtn and Battle Mtn frame the valley floors. The presence of the Salt Creek Guard Sta and Pleasant Creek Guard Station reflects the historical management of the Umpqua National Forest lands that extend across the northern reaches of the map.
