2018 Map of Hamilton

About this map

Hamilton anchors the southwestern corner of this survey, situated at the base of the Mokomoke Mountains and the southern reach of the White Pine Range. The high-altitude landscape is defined by its complex hydrology and a network of traditional routes, including the Belmont Cutoff and the Mokomoke Trail. These paths connect various isolated water sources such as Waterworks Spring and California Spring, which were essential for local life in this arid environment. To the east, Illipah Cr feeds into the Illipah Reservoir, a significant water feature that breaks the dry terrain near Harris Canyon. Within the Humboldt National Forest, the topography rises sharply to summits like Buster Mtn, while deep cuts like Cathedral Canyon reveal the geologic character of the region.
