1965 Map of Hooker

About this map

The settlement of Hooker sits at the heart of this mid-1960s survey, marking a rugged transition in the Northern Sacramento Valley where the Southern Pacific railroad cuts through the hill country. This landscape is defined by the complex hydrology of the Cottonwood Creek system, including the South Fork Cottonwood Creek and the man-made Anderson Cottonwood Canal. Local infrastructure is anchored by the Evergreen Sch and a network of rural routes such as Evergreen Road and Basler Road. The map provides detailed topographic data for the drainages of Hooker Creek, Blue Tent Creek, and Solomon Gulch, illustrating the drainage patterns north of the Tehama and Shasta county line. For genealogists and local historians, these labels preserve the names of family landmarks and the mid-century industrial footprint of gravel pits and weighing stations.
