About this map

Gerber Reservoir dominates this landscape in southern Oregon, where man-made infrastructure and natural features intersect within the Fremont National Forest. This survey shows the extensive water management systems in place by the early 2000s, including the Diversion Ditch and Levee structures that regulate the flow through Barnes Creek and toward the smaller Round Valley Reservoir. Historically significant markers like the Petroglyphs near Barnes Creek offer evidence of ancient habitation long before the reservoir was established.

The terrain is characterized by numerous seasonal and perennial water sources, from Wagon Road Spring to the distinctively named Moonshine Spring. Significant geological features such as Horse Camp Rim overlook the Round Valley, while landmarks like the Cinder Pit and several boat ramps reflect more recent land use and resource extraction. Small high-country waters like McKendree Reservoir and Horsefly Reservoir dot the timbered sections of the forest.
