2015 Map of Hooker

About this map

Hooker serves as a central point in this transition zone between the northern Sacramento Valley and the rising terrain of the Cascade foothills. The landscape is defined by a series of south-flowing drainage systems, including Cottonwood Creek and the South Fork Cottonwood Creek, which have carved distinct patterns across the county line between Shasta and Tehama counties. The presence of the Anderson-Cottonwood Canal snaking across the northern half of the map illustrates the critical role of water management in this agricultural and pastoral region. To the west, the Flying N Ranch Airport provides a distinct aviation landmark among the network of rural roads such as Bowman Rd and Donovan Rd. Moving south toward the Central Valley, the terrain drops into Solomon Gulch and along the banks of Blue Tent Cr, showcasing the varied topography that transitions from flat valley floors to dissected upland ridges.
