2018 Map of Brush Creek

About this map

Brush Creek sits within the canyon-cut landscape of the Plumas National Forest, where the deep drainage of the Middle Fork Feather River shapes the geography of Butte County. This 2018 survey details the transition from high ridgelines like Glazer Ridge and Mosquito Ridge to the historic river bars that dot the water's edge, including Milsap Bar, American Bar, and Evans Bar. These locations, along with named river features like Crooked Bar, trace the legacy of gold-era access points and riverside activity along the Feather River's difficult terrain.
