1956 Map of Hayden Hill

About this map

Hayden Hill stands as the central landmark of this Northern California landscape, where the high desert meets the volcanic terrain of the Modoc National Forest. In the mid-1950s, this area across the Lassen and Modoc line was characterized by a network of seasonal camps and water management, essential for ranching and resource extraction in the high-elevation flats. The map reveals numerous isolated outposts like Pat Morris Camp and Totten Camp, alongside industrial markers such as several labeled prospects and a small Cem near the primary peak.
