1979 Map of Hoopa

About this map

The Trinity River winds through the heart of the Hoopa Valley in this late 1970s survey, illustrating the geographical center of the Hoopa Valley Indian Reservation. The settlement of Hoopa serves as the primary hub, where the High Sch, a Gaging Station, and the Hoopa Valley Landing Strip sit along the riverbanks. The map highlights significant cultural and natural landmarks, including The Rain Rock (Indian Ceremonial Site) near the southern boundary and Sugar Bowl Ranch tucked along the river bend. Surrounding the valley, the terrain is defined by prominent peaks and ridges such as Snow Mountain, Hospital Mtn, and Sawmill Ridge, while numerous watercourses like Tish Tang a Tang Creek and Hostler Creek drain into the Trinity. This map documents a landscape where traditional sites and modern infrastructure like Bair Road coexist within the Six Rivers National Forest.
