1964 Map of Drews Gap

About this map

Fremont National Forest dominates this section of south-central Oregon, where the high-altitude terrain transitions between the Low Creek Hills and the open flats of the Antelope Canyon corridor. The 1964 survey reveals a landscape defined by water management and ranching, evidenced by the numerous irrigation and storage features like Cottonwood Reservoir, Muddy Creek Reservoir, and Hill Reservoir. Scattered prospects and borrow pits indicate local mineral extraction efforts alongside the established agricultural presence of the Lamb Ranch and Hill Ranch.
