Most of the photos were taken between the late 1860's and the early 1900's. Especially Sumpter, before the fire of August 13, 1917, almost completely destroyed the business district of a thriving city of about 4,000, is well documented with 195 photos. Also well represented are the former mining camps of Bourne (16 photos), Cornucopia (72), Granite (18), and Greenhorn City (16), plus many more.

***Baker County's small towns, with populations from 200-500, include: Durkee, Haines, Halfway, Huntington, Richland, Sumpter, and Unity. Ghost towns, mostly abandoned mining camps, include: Auburn, Bourne, Carson, Clarksville, Copperfield, Cornucopia, Granite, Greenhorn City, Homestead, Malheur City, McEwen, Meacham, Medical Springs, Rye Valley, Sparta, Susanville, and Whitney. Some towns are in neighboring counties. (Baker County Library requests that comments and corrections be directed to the e-mail address below.)
