1951 Map of Hamlin Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

Butte Creek carves a deep path through the canyonlands of Butte County, where mining and rail history intersect along the rugged western slopes of the Sierra Nevada. Evidence of hydraulic and placer mining remains visible in the Tailings deposits scattered along the creek bed, particularly near the Southern Pacific rail line. The landscape is defined by a series of prominent volcanic or sedimentary ridges, including Doe Mill Ridge and Nance Ridge, which channel drainage into numerous seasonal canyons like Hamlin Canyon and Nugen Canyon.
