About this map

Hay Creek Ranch and Morrow Ranch anchor this landscape in Jefferson County, where ranching operations and water management systems dominate the geography. The map shows a series of vital water resources for the region, including Brewer Reservoir held by Brewer Dam, and Willow Creek Reservoir downstream of the Morrow Brothers Dam. These features illustrate the infrastructure required to manage seasonal water flow in the high country, where Hay Creek and Willow Creek provide the primary drainage.

Terrain features like the Baldwin Hills rise above the drainage basins of Mud Springs Creek and Jim Creek. Local connectivity is defined by established routes such as SE Hay Creek Rd and SE Grizzly Rd, which link the isolated ranch headquarters and the small settlement of Newbill. For those interested in the rural history of Oregon, this survey provides a look at the named springs, such as Anderson Springs, and the network of forest roads that service this high-desert environment.
