About this map

Drews Reservoir dominates this landscape in southern Oregon, serving as a primary hydrologic hub for the surrounding high-desert and forested terrain. The small settlement at Drews Valley sits near the northern reaches of the water, where Drews Creek and Stevenson Creek converge. The reservoir is framed by the steep rising slopes of the Fremont National Forest to the west and the rolling Willow Creek Hills to the east, illustrating a classic transition between timbered highlands and open basin floor.

Local navigation and land use are defined by established routes like Tracy Road and Salt Springs Road, which skirt the edges of the lake. The map reveals numerous water sources vital for ranching and wildlife in this arid environment, including Kerman Spring, Salt Spring, and Dip Spring. These named springs and small drainages like Seventy Creek and La Sere Creek provide essential detail for understanding the historical grazing and water management patterns of the Lake County region.
