About this map

Lamb Ranch and Hill Ranch anchor this high-elevation landscape in Lake County, where the high desert meets the forested slopes of the Fremont National Forest. The topography is defined by the sharp descent of Antelope Canyon and the prominent Drews Gap, a critical mountain pass that has historically channeled movement through the region. Water management is central to the area's development, evidenced by the Cottonwood Reservoir with its Gaging Station and the Muddy Creek Reservoir.

Lower elevations to the south and east reveal an extensive irrigation network featuring the North Canal and East Canal, supporting agriculture near the Drews Reservoir basin. This 1964 survey, with 1980 photorevisions, documents the intersection of public lands at A L Booth Memorial State Park and private ranching interests, traced through rugged features like the Willow Creek Hills and Cub Cliff.
