2015 Map of Clipper Mills

About this map

Clipper Mills and Woodleaf anchor this survey of the Sierra Nevada foothills, where the Butte Co Yuba Co line divides a landscape shaped by timber and water. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes between the S Fork Feather River and high ridgelines like Lumpkin Ridge and Empire Ridge. Historic transport routes, notably the winding La Porte Rd and Old Knox Rd, connect small settlements that grew alongside the gold and timber industries. This region is heavily managed within the Plumas National Forest and Tahoe National Forest, showing a network of forest service roads and drainage basins such as Lost Cr Reservoir and Oroleve Cr. Smaller named localities like Rogerville and Lumpkin point to the area's history of isolated homesteading and specialized mountain camps.
