About this map

The rugged Sierra Nevada foothills of Butte County are defined by the deep canyons of the Feather River forks. At this post-war moment, the Western Pacific Railroad snakes along the North Fork Feather River, serving small settlements like Las Plumas and the Berry Creek Station. The landscape is a mix of active mining operations and established ranches, with names like Bunker Hill Mine and Surcease Mine appearing alongside the Jamison Ranch and Hinton Ranch.
