About this map

Lake Oroville dominates the central landscape of this Butte County region, where the reservoir waters meet the steep drainage systems of the Sierra Nevada foothills. The map documents the complex topography between the Lassen National Forest and Plumas National Forest, centered around the community of Berry Creek. Settlement patterns here follow both the high ridges and the historical access points along the water, evidenced by locations such as Berry Creek Bar and Island Bar.

Infrastructure in this area is defined by a network of forest service and mountain roads, including Bunker Hill Mine Rd and Bald Rock Rd, which navigate around significant elevations like Big Bend Mtn and Bloomer Hill. The presence of small settlements like Poe, Jarbo Gap, and Hughes Place illustrates the scattered nature of residential and historical sites in this heavily forested terrain, while features like Madrone Lake and Wild Yankee Hill highlight the local geography used by generations of residents.
