About this map

The Hoopa Valley Indian Reservation Boundary bisects this mountainous landscape in the late 1970s, marking the transition between tribal lands and the Six Rivers National Forest. This section of Northern California is defined by steep ridges and an intricate drainage system feeding toward the Trinity River, which appears in the southwestern corner. Cultural and geographic landmarks like Marshall Crossing and Tish Tang Point provide specific reference points for researchers interested in the historical access routes and land divisions of this area.

Water sources are numerous throughout the high country, including Mud Springs and Bowman Spring, which likely served as critical stops for those navigating the network of paths. The map reveals the relationship between the dramatic topography of Hostler Ridge and the waterways below, such as Mill Creek and Horse Linto Creek, illustrating the remote character of these protected forest and reservation lands.
