About this map

The Drewsey settlement remains the focal point of this Harney County landscape, situated where the Malheur River winds through Drewsey Valley. The area's agricultural reliance on water management is evident in the extensive network of irrigation features, including the Drewsey Reclamation Company Ditch, Miller Ditch, and Sitz Ditch. These human-made channels cut across Kimball Flat to sustain the high desert ranching economy.

South of the town center, the terrain is marked by essential water sources like Stinkingwater Cr and Warm Spring Cr, leading toward the North Beede Reservoir. Notable for local historians and genealogists is the Drewsey Cemetery located east of the main settlement. The map captures a high plateau environment where named springs, such as Broken Pipe Spring and Sheep Spring, provide critical water points across the varying elevations of Drewsey Table.
