About this map

The North Fork Feather River, Middle Fork Feather River, and South Fork Feather River converge in this 1950 topographical study, revealing the complex water management and gold-era geography of Butte County. The landscape is defined by its bars—depositional river features that served as critical mining sites—including Montgomery Bar, Miller Bar, and Stringtown Bar. Infrastructure such as the Palermo Canal, a Siphon, and a Flume trace the movement of water across the ridges, supporting the region's agricultural and mining interests.
