1944 Map of Oroville
USGS Topo · Published 1944About this map
North Table Mountain and South Table Mtn dominate this 1940s landscape, providing a dramatic backdrop to the gold-mining and hydroelectric infrastructure of the Feather River canyon. The map reveals the intricate water management systems of the era, from the Concow Res to several strategically placed Power House facilities. Hard rock and placer mining history is evident in the presence of the Bumble Bee Mines and the New Era Mine, while the town of Oroville serves as the regional hub at the convergence of the Southern Pacific, Northern, and Western Pacific railroads.
