1944 Map of Oroville
USGS Topo · Published 1944About this map
Oroville serves as the focal point for this survey, situated at the base of dramatic volcanic formations including North Table Mountain and South Table Mountain. The map illustrates a landscape shaped by hydraulic mining and water management, visible through the complex network of the Miocene Canal and numerous smaller ditches serving the gold-bearing regions. High above the valley floor, the volcanic mesas rise toward the High Rocks, while historical settlements like Cherokee and Oregon City indicate the era's persistent mining and ranching footprints.
