2022 Map of Hooker

About this map

Hooker sits at the center of this landscape where the upper Sacramento Valley meets the rising terrain of the northern interior. The map documents an intricate hydraulic network, most notably the Anderson Cottonwood Canal as it traverses the western slopes above the Cottonwood Creek basin. This drainage system is further defined by the South Fork Cottonwood Creek and Hooker Creek, which carve through the undulating topography along the Shasta and Tehama County line. Small settlements and specialized landmarks like the Flying N Ranch Airport and the community of Central Valley reflect the modern rural character of the region. Localized drainage features such as Solomon Gulch and Blue Tent Creek offer specific points of reference for those tracing the historical geography of this section of the valley.
