2023 Map of Wingville

About this map

Baker Valley is defined by a sophisticated network of irrigation and water management, visible through features like Phillips Ditch, Payton Ditch, and the Baker Municipal Aqueduct. This agricultural landscape, primarily north of the Elkhorn Mountains, is anchored by the settlement of Wingville. For genealogists, the map preserves several significant burial sites, including the Wingville Cem, Pocahontas Cem, and the small Williams Gravesites located along Michael Ln. The southwestern portion transitions into the high terrain of the Whitman National Forest, where deep canyons like Dutch Gulch and Rouen Gulch cut into the mountainside. The distribution of reservoirs and ponds, such as Butler Reservoir and De Vos Pond, highlights the intensive water engineering required to sustain this part of Baker County.
