2015 Map of Hog Valley

About this map

Pumpkin Center sits at the intersection of Valley Cutoff Rd and Bunselmeier Rd, marking a sparse but established settlement within the expansive Big Valley terrain. The landscape is defined by its complex hydrology and forest management, where the Pit River and Big Valley Canal give way to the rising elevations of the Modoc National Forest. This 2015 survey details a working landscape of ranching and timber heritage, evidenced by the numerous named water sources like Billy Packwood Spring and Jim Packwood Spring that dot the southern highlands near Hog Valley. The topographic data reveals a network of spur roads and loops, such as Walker Spr Loop and Ditch Camp Spur, which provide access to the Hog Valley Reservoir and the high ground surrounding Indian Peak. Between the flats of Cary Flat and the drainage of Juniper Creek, the map provides a precise record of land use and resource management in northern California.
