About this map

The N Fork Feather River carves a deep path through this landscape, defining the industrial and topographical character of the area north of Lake Oroville. Infrastructure related to the river’s power is evident at the Poe Powerhouse and nearby Tunnel Number Seven, which underscore the hydroelectric and engineering legacy of this portion of Butte County. Small mountain settlements and points of interest like Berry Creek, Jarbo Gap, and Big Bend are connected by a network of winding roads, including the Oroville Quincy Hwy and Bunker Hill Mine Rd.

Genealogists and local historians can find family-named landmarks and secluded sites such as Hughes Place, Frenchmans Grave, and Swayne Hill. The southern portion of the map transitions toward the waters of the reservoir, featuring the Goat Ranch Campground and Bloomer Hill. From the high point of Big Bend Mountain to the depths of China Gulch, the map details a region where timber, mining, and water management have long shaped local life.
