1952 Map of Hackamore

About this map

Modoc National Forest dominates this mid-century survey of northeastern California, revealing a landscape managed for timber, transit, and early industrial activity. The Southern Pacific railroad cuts a diagonal path through the high plateau, serving the small settlement of Hackamore and the nearby Pumice Brick Plant. This infrastructure highlights the era's reliance on rail for transporting raw materials from the remote volcanic interior. A Plant Quarantine Station at the junction of Tickner Road and the rail line indicates the state's efforts to regulate agricultural movement during the early 1950s.
