1948 Map of Forbestown
USGS Topo · Published 1967About this map
Gold mining history and the timber-driven economy of the late 1940s are visible across this landscape in the Sierra Nevada foothills. The South Fork Feather River and Middle Fork Feather River carve through the terrain, providing the water power for an intricate network of flumes and canals, including the Wyandotte Canal and Palermo Canal. Settlement is concentrated around the historic community of Forbestown and the nearby site of Old Forbestown, while the presence of the Indian Cemetery northwest of Feather Falls points to an even deeper lineage of habitation.
