1950 Map of Clipper Mills

About this map

Clipper Mills and Woodleaf anchor this mid-century survey of the rugged interface between Butte and Yuba counties. The landscape is defined by the deep incisions of the South Fork Feather River and the North Fork Yuba River, with high-elevation ridges like Lumpkin Ridge and Lewis Ridge separating the watersheds. Evidence of the region's industrial and agricultural past is scattered throughout, from the Triumph Mine and Monte de Oro Mine to the localized operations of a Mill at Jackass Flat and a Sawmill near Woodleaf.
