1967 Map of Wingville

About this map

The Baker Valley agricultural landscape meets the timbered slopes of the Whitman National Forest in this late 1960s survey. Irrigation infrastructure, vital for high-desert farming, is extensively documented through features like the Salmon Aqueduct, Baker Municipal Aqueduct, and the Wilcox Ditch. The historic settlement of Wingville serves as a focal point, supported by the nearby Wingville Cem and the Union Pacific rail line running through Old Wing Slough. In the southern highlands, the map records the region's mining legacy with the Young America Mine and Stub Mine tucked away in the gulches. Recreational sites such as the Ebell Picnic Area and Marble Creek Picnic Area mark the transition from the valley floor to the forested terrain, where numerous drainages like Hibbard Gulch and Rouen Gulch carve through the landscape.
