Drews Gap (el. 5306 ft.) is a mountain pass in the U.S. state of Oregon traversed by Oregon Route 140. It is named for Major Charles S. Drew of the 1st Oregon Cavalry, who surveyed a route from Fort Klamath east to the Owyhee River in 1864 that became the Oregon Central Military Road.Bancroft, Hubert Howe, [https://books.google.com/books?id=l-gNAAAAIAAJ History of Oregon Vol. II, 1848-1888], 1888, pp. 651-652
