1979 Map of Yager Junction

About this map

Yager Junction sits at the heart of this landscape, where the Yager Valley opens between steep ridges in Humboldt County. This 1970s survey captures a region defined by ranching life and rugged watercourses, showing established properties like the Jaqua Ranch, Fort Baker Ranch, and Sunny Basin Ranch. The map reveals a transition from the drainage of Yager Creek and its many forks—including the North Fork Yager Creek and South Fork Yager Creek—to the southern flows of the Van Duzen River. Distinctive landmarks such as Bald Jesse, Palace Rock, and Pigeon Rock rise above the ridgelines, while the local infrastructure is represented by the remote Hanson Corrals and a prominent Radio Facility on Hanson Hill.
