2012 Map of Jonesville

About this map

Jonesville serves as the focal point for this high-elevation region in the early 21st century, where the headwaters of Butte Creek and the West Branch Feather River carve through the landscape. The area is defined by its recreational infrastructure, centered on Philbrook Reservoir and its associated Philbrook Campground and boat ramp. Historically significant sites like Butte Creek House and Dresser Camp are situated along a network of mountain roads including Humboldt Road and Humbug Summit Road. The terrain is characterized by numerous small alpine water bodies such as Snag Lake, Summit Lake, and Lotts Lake, alongside prominent peaks like Snow Mountain and Spring Valley Mountain. These features indicate a landscape primarily used for seasonal timber access, watershed management, and mountain tourism.
