About this map

The settlement of Wimer serves as the focal point for this survey of the fertile Evans Valley in southern Oregon. Located near the Josephine and Jackson County line, the area is defined by the convergence of Evans Creek and Pleasant Creek. The landscape transitions from the agricultural valley floor to the steep slopes of Elk Mountain and the high points of China Gap.

Water management is central to the local economy, evidenced by the Vroman Ditch and numerous smaller irrigation lines. Notable landmarks include the Spring Brook Airport and the Pleasant Creek Forest Station, reflecting a mix of private aviation and public land management. Evidence of industrial activity appears at the Quarry near the North Fork, while a Mobile Home Park near the town center indicates the residential footprint of the late 20th century.
