About this map

Hat Cr flows north through this volcanic landscape, serving as the central artery for a series of recreational and agricultural sites. The settlement of Old Station stands at a crossroads, supported by infrastructure including a Po and the Sugarloaf Picnic Area. The terrain is defined by prominent volcanic features like Sugarloaf Peak, Potato Butte, and Little Potato Butte, which rise above the surrounding flats.

Water resources are distributed throughout the higher elevations, from Plum Valley Reservoir in the northeast to the small Baker Lake and Logan Lake further south. The map documents a network of Forest Service roads and ranching sites like Wilcox Ranch and Smoky Cabin, illustrating the long-standing use of this region for both timber management and high-country grazing. Camping is heavily represented along the creek corridor at sites like Bridge Campground and Rocky Campground, reflecting the area's role as a gateway to the Northern California wilderness.
