2018 Map of Oroville

About this map

The Feather River corridor and the city of Oroville dominate this late 2010s landscape, illustrating a complex network of water management and historic foothill settlements. The industrial and agricultural heritage of the region is etched into the terrain via the Thermalito Power Canal, Lower Miocene Canal, and the large Thermalito Forebay. North of the city, the dramatic geological formations of North Table Mtn and South Table Mtn rise above smaller communities like Oregon City and Thompson Flat. For local historians and genealogists, the map identifies several significant burial sites, including the Butte County Cem, Thompson Flat Cem, and Pioneer Cem. The topographic detail also captures the transition from the river valley floor to the ravines and gulches of the Sierra Nevada foothills, including Oregon Gulch and Potter Ravine.
