1950 Map of Oregon House

About this map

Oregon House serves as the primary settlement hub in this post-war survey of Yuba County, situated amidst a landscape defined by ranching and timber. Local landmarks such as the Oregon House School and a nearby sawmill reflect the community's early infrastructure and reliance on natural resources. The terrain is marked by significant hydraulic and agricultural features, including the Los Verjeles Dam at Lake Mildred and a network of siphons and flumes that suggest a sophisticated approach to water management for local ranches like Virginia Ranch and Pal O Mine Ranch. To the southeast, the Englebright Reservoir on the Yuba River dominates the drainage system, while numerous named peaks like Stanfield Hill and Daugherty Hill segment the various creek basins including Willow Glen Creek and Dry Creek.
