1983 Map of Wimer

About this map

Wimer serves as the primary hub in this corner of Southern Oregon, situated at the confluence of several vital watercourses. The drainage of Evans Creek and Pleasant Creek dominates the lower elevations, where the landscape is etched by irrigation works such as Fence Line Ditch and Vroman Ditch, suggesting a local economy tied to water management and agriculture. The terrain rises sharply toward the northern and western margins, marked by significant passes like China Gap and Coker Gap. To the west, the boundary between Josephine County and Jackson County bisects the drainage of Jumpoff Joe Creek. Local utility and transit are represented by the Spring Brook Airport and the Pleasant Creek Forest Station, illustrating the rural infrastructure of the early 1980s.
