About this map

Gold-era settlements and timber operations define this late-nineteenth-century landscape where Butte and Plumas counties meet. The map reveals a network of mountain waystations and family-named houses that supported travelers and laborers in the Sierra foothills, including American House, North Star House, and Mt. Hope House. Industry is concentrated along the steep drainages, evidenced by the Old Defiance Mill and Big Bar Mill near the North Fork of the Feather River.
