About this map

Brownsboro and the surrounding Jackson County countryside are defined by a complex network of irrigation and water management features. The landscape is dotted with numerous small impoundments such as Woolfolk Reservoir, Trammel Reservoir, and the Bradshaw Reservoir Number Two, which support the region's agricultural activity. The presence of Brownsboro Cemetery and Miller Cemetery near the main settlement provides clear points of interest for those researching local family history.

Water travels through the valley via Little Butte Creek and its many tributaries, including Yankee Creek and Lick Creek. Notable geographic landmarks like Bybee Peak and Eagle Gulch rise above the drainage basins, while engineered features such as Bradshaw Drop and the Yankee Creek Reservoir indicate the ongoing human modification of the local hydrology for ranching and farming at the start of the twenty-first century.
