1970 Map of Brush Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Mountain House and the community of Brush Creek anchor this survey of the Sierra Nevada foothills, mapped just as the regional landscape was being reshaped by the development of the State Water Project. The rugged topography is defined by the deep incision of the Middle Fork Feather River, which is designated here as the Middle Fork Feather Wild and Scenic River. Evidence of earlier resource extraction remains visible in the Dredge Tailings along French Creek, while the southern portion of the map shows the rising waters of Lake Oroville. Significant landmarks for local history include the Junction House (Site) and the Berry Creek Rancheria, alongside natural features like the massive Bald Rock Dome and the iconic Feather Falls near Wagners Valley. The network of old routes, including the Oroville Quincy Highway and the Shute Trail, provides a record of historical transit through the Plumas National Forest.
