1970 Map of Brush Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Plumas National Forest dominates this landscape in the Sierra Nevada foothills, where the Middle Fork Feather Wild and Scenic River carves deep through Bald Rock Canyon. The map documents a period of significant hydraulic transition, showing the early boundaries of the Lake Oroville State Recreation Area as the newly formed reservoir began to shape the southern terrain. Evidence of older resource extraction persists through Dredge Tailings along French Creek, while small settlements and historic locations like Mountain House and the Junction House (Site) anchor the high ridges. Topographic landmarks such as Big Bald Rock and Bald Rock Dome highlight the prominent granitic features of the region. This 1970 field-checked survey captures the area just as the modern recreational and water management era was taking hold over the historic mining and transit routes of Butte County.
