About this map

Baker Valley transitions from agricultural lowlands into the timbered slopes of the Whitman National Forest in this mid-century survey. The settlement of Wingville serves as a local hub, supported by the Wingville Cem and nearby water sources like Pine Creek and De Voss Pond. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of irrigation and water management, including the Salmon Creek Aqueduct and the Municipal Aqueduct which feed the region's ranching and municipal needs.

Higher elevations to the southwest reveal a history of resource extraction and preservation. The Baker City Watershed Boundary protects the headwaters of Little Salmon Creek, while sites like the Young America Mine, Stub Mine, and various prospects indicate the area's mineral interests. Transportation is anchored by the Union Pacific rail line and Wingville Road, connecting these mountain drainages such as Hibbard Gulch and Washington Gulch to the broader valley floor.
