2020 Map of Drews Gap

About this map

The Fremont National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape of southern Lake County, Oregon, where the terrain transitions through a series of significant mountain passes and water management systems. The strategic Drews Gap and the neighboring Drews Gap Summit mark the primary passage through the hills, followed closely by the descent into Antelope Canyon. This area is defined by its complex irrigation and water storage network, supporting the high desert cattle and timber economy. Named reservoirs such as Junipers Reservoir, Clyde Fenimore Reservoir, and the Willow Cr Reservoir are interspersed with natural features like Patton Meadow and Fish Lake. A distinct system of man-made waterways including the Number Six Canal, N Canal, and E Canal underscores the critical role of water diversion for the local rangelands.
