2022 Map of Hatfield

About this map

Hatfield straddles the boundary between California and Oregon, serving as a focal point for this reclaimed agricultural and wildlife landscape. The area is defined by the extensive waters of Tule Lake and the managed flow of the Lost River and Van Brimmer Canal, which support both the local farming economy and the surrounding conservation lands. Significant portions of the territory are dedicated to the Tule Lake National Wildlife Refuge and the Lower Klamath National Wildlife Refuge, where the flat marshlands contrast sharply with the rising elevations of Sheepy Peak and the High Rim. To the south, the topography transitions toward the timbered slopes of the Modoc National Forest. Smaller settlements like Ainsworth Corner and family-named landmarks such as Barntop Mtn provide essential reference points for researchers studying the land-use patterns of the Klamath Basin.
