1948 Map of Clipper Mills

About this map

Plumas National Forest dominates this mid-century landscape where Butte and Yuba counties meet. The settlement of Clipper Mills and the nearby Clipper Mills School serve as local hubs for the timber and mining activities that once defined this ridge-and-canyon country. High-elevation points like Lumpkin Ridge and Fields Ridge overlook the deep drainage of the South Fork Feather River, which is fed by numerous named creeks and a network of canals and ditches.
