2018 Map of Bangor

About this map

Bangor and the surrounding foothill landscape of Butte County are defined by an intricate network of waterways and ravines that once supported the local mining and agricultural economy. The presence of Henderson Ditch, the Palermo Canal, and Bangor Ditch illustrates the historical importance of water management in this gold-country region. Settlement patterns appear concentrated near Wyandotte and Hurleton, while local genealogy is grounded at the Oak Grove Cem and Bangor Cem. The terrain is marked by notable elevations such as Phoenix Hill and Rattlesnake Point, which overlook a series of deep cuts including Wyman Ravine and French Ravine. The landscape's industrial character is further evidenced by names like Golddigger Ln and Fine Gold Gulch, hinting at the mineral history of the northern Central Valley foothills.
