2018 Map of Berry Creek

About this map

The North Fork Feather River carves a deep canyon through this portion of the Sierra Nevada foothills, where the boundaries of the Lassen National Forest and Plumas National Forest meet. This 2018 survey documents a landscape defined by dramatic elevation changes, from the waters of Lake Oroville and Berry Creek Bar up to the heights of Big Bend Mtn and Chino Ridge. The infrastructure of the canyon is evident in the presence of Tunnel Number Seven and the winding path of the Blenzig Rxr Grade, reflecting the historical importance of rail transit through the Dark Canyon area. Small settlements and named locales like Poe, Parkhill, and Berry Creek are connected by a network of forest roads, including Bardess Bar Road and Pulga Rd, providing a detailed view of the region's contemporary rural development and forestry access.
