2013 Map of Hamer

About this map

Hamer sits at the center of this 2013 survey, marking a vital junction of water management and transportation in Jefferson County. The landscape is defined by its complex irrigation and hydrography, featuring a network of water bodies such as Hamer Lake, Sandhole Lake, and the distinctly named Rat Farm Pond. The presence of the Hamer Ditch indicates the ongoing importance of water control for agriculture in this high desert environment, while Beaver Cr and Camas Cr drain the northern reaches of the quadrangle. To the east, volcanic features like Beacon Butte and Raumaker Butte rise from the basin, providing topographical relief and historical landmarks for navigation. This modern survey captures the rural infrastructure of the region, from the precise grid of county roads like Camas Creek Rd to the shared boundaries of the Jefferson and Fremont County line.
