About this map

The boundary between Shasta Co and Tehama Co follows the winding path of Cottonwood Creek in this mid-1960s survey of the northern Sacramento Valley. The Southern Pacific Railroad runs north-to-south through the center of the sheet, providing a primary transportation spine for the small settlement of Hooker. Agriculture and infrastructure are evident in the complex network of Canal systems and siphons that move water through the dry landscape.

To the south, the terrain becomes more uneven as Hooker Creek and Blue Tent Creek cut through the foothills toward Blunt. Local education is centered at the Evergreen Sch near Evergreen Road, while rural life is marked by numerous named thoroughfares like Bowman Road and Adams Road. Modern highway development is seen along the eastern edge, featuring a Weighing Station and a Roadside Rest, reflecting the transition of this ranching and farming corridor into a more connected regional transit route.
