About this map

Hatfield sits at the northern edge of this high-desert basin, straddling the state line where the Lost River meanders toward the extensive wetlands of the Klamath Basin. The landscape is defined by the heavy management of water and wildlife, characterized by the sprawling Tule Lake National Wildlife Refuge and the Lower Klamath National Wildlife Refuge. These protected areas are bordered by a rigid grid of agricultural roads, including Kandra Rd and E West Rd, reflecting a landscape re-engineered for reclamation and habitat conservation.

Central to the topography is the prominent ridge containing Sheepy Peak and the High Rim, which separates the two primary wildlife refuges. Notable engineering features like the Tule Lake Tunnel and the Van-Brimmer Canal indicate the complex irrigation history required to maintain both the local agriculture and the seasonal levels of Tule Lake. Further south, the map transitions into the timbered slopes of the Modoc National Forest, anchored by Barntop Mtn.
