1979 Map of Caribou
USGS Topo · Published 1979About this map
Rich Bar and Belden anchor the riverfront in this 1970s survey of the Feather River canyon. The landscape is defined by the heavy infrastructure of hydroelectric power and mining, with the North Fork Feather River and its East Branch meeting near a series of tunnels and gaging stations. The Pacific Western railroad line tracks the river's curve, passing through Tunnel 23, Tunnel 24, and Tunnel 25. This mapping also reveals the legacy of gold mining in the region, noting several river bars such as Indian Bar, Pea Soup Bar, and Missouri Bar.
