2018 Map of Said Valley

About this map

Said Valley and the surrounding high country of Lassen National Forest define this landscape of the northeastern California interior. A sophisticated network of water management features, including Hazelton Reservoir, Ambrose Reservoir, and the Said Valley Reservoir, reveals the region's reliance on collected runoff to support local activity. The terrain is marked by significant volcanic and tectonic features, from the elevation of Hayden Hill in the northwest to the depression of Wildcat Canyon. Numerous family-named and descriptive water sources like Daisy Dean Spring, Dago Spring, and Italian Spring are scattered across the slopes of Spring Hill, suggesting a history of seasonal grazing or early homesteading. This map provides a detailed view of the infrastructure bridging the Modoc National Forest and Lassen National Forest, centered on the small settlement at Said Valley.
