2017 Map of Tucker Hill

About this map

Tucker Hill stands as a prominent elevation in this high-desert landscape of Lake County, where the transition from volcanic uplands to expansive basin wetlands is clearly defined. The hydrological complexity of the region is evident in the extensive system of marshes and man-made water management features, including the Upper Chewaucan Marsh and Lower Chewaucan Marsh. To the north, the Chewaucan River passes through a constriction known as The Narrows, crossed by The Narrows Bridge. The map details a landscape heavily influenced by ranching and water rights, marked by a network of canals and ditches such as the Outside Canal, Bagley Ditch, and Moss Ditch. The southern portion of the quadrangle rises into the timbered terrain of the Fremont National Forest, while the lowland Clover Flat and Clover Flat Rd facilitate movement through the basin.
