About this map

Oregon House sits at the northern end of this mid-1990s survey, serving as a focal point for a region defined by its water management and ranching legacy. The landscape is dominated by the reservoir of Collins Lake, held by the Virginia Ranch Dam, and the winding course of the Yuba River to the south. Along the river, the Harry L Englebright Lake spans the boundary between Yuba County and Nevada County.

Evidence of historical water infrastructure is visible through the Scott Ditch and Forbes Ditch, which cut through the Oat Hills. Family names and local landmarks like Donovan Hill, Stanfield Hill, and Holman Hill provide specific points of interest for genealogists, while the Oregon House Sch and Carmichael Ranch reflect the enduring rural community structure. The map captures the transition between the rising elevations of Willow Glen Ridge and the lower river valleys.
