This river passes through an area called Sumpter that at one time had more than 2,000 residents. That occured in the late 19th and in the early 20th centuary, when rock and placer gold mining was at its peaks. Today there are only about 200 permanent residents. The drive from Baker City to Sumpter is quite pretty.
