2012 Map of Clipper Mills

About this map

Clipper Mills and the nearby community of Woodleaf anchor this northern Sierra landscape, which is defined by the deep incisions of the S Fork Feather River. The topography transitions from high points like Mooreville Ridge and Empire Ridge down to the major water bodies of Lost Creek Reservoir and the New Bullards Bar Reservoir. Historically oriented researchers can identify smaller residential pockets and named locations such as Oroleve, Rogerville, and Lumpkin. The map reveals a complex network of forest access and utility routes, including Woodleaf Tunnel Rd and the La Porte Rd. Further inland, family and work sites like Maynards Ranch, Bean Ranch, and Grizzly Lodge provide specific points of interest for genealogists tracing local history. The drainage patterns of creeks like Know-nothing Cr and Grizzly Cr further illustrate the rugged watershed character of Yuba and Butte counties.
