1992 Map of Brewer Reservoir

About this map

The Hay Creek Ranch occupies the northern drainage of this Jefferson County landscape, where the ranching economy has long relied on the seasonal flows of Hay Creek and Anderson Springs. In the western reaches, the Crooked River National Grassland encompasses a transition from the drainage of Willow Creek to the prominent rising terrain of the Baldwin Hills. This area is defined by its water management and grazing infrastructure, evidenced by Storage Bins and a network of named springs that supported livestock in the high desert environment. The presence of Brewer Reservoir and various landmarks like Morrow Well and a Drill Hole reflect the mid-century efforts to manage subsurface and surface water resources. Tracing Grizzly Road across the southern half of the quadrangle shows the primary access route through this terrain of steep cuts like Dewies Canyon and Wagonblast Canyon.
