1948 Map of Oregon House

About this map

Oregon House serves as a central point in this Yuba County landscape, situated amidst a terrain defined by foothills and water management systems. The map illustrates a transitional period of agricultural and industrial utility, featuring several family-named properties like Virginia Ranch, Bar O Mine Ranch, and Carmichael Ranch. A Sawmill near the town center and the prominent Englebright Reservoir on the Yuba River at the Nevada County line reflect the area's reliance on timber and water resources. Local educational history is anchored by the Oregon House Sch and Peoria Sch. The topography is marked by numerous named peaks and ridges, including Stanfield Hill and Daugherty Hill, with early infrastructure represented by a Flume and Ditch system winding through the northern creeks.
