1947 Map of Oroville
USGS Topo · Published 1959About this map
North Table Mountain and South Table Mtn dominate the landscape north of the Feather River, which flows past the established street grids of Oroville and Thermalito. This mid-century survey captures the complex water management system vital to the region, including the Upper Miocene Canal and Lower Miocene Canal that snake through steep terrain like Beatson Hollow and Coal Canyon. The map reveals a transition from industrial and utility infrastructure, such as the Power House and Monte de Oro Mine, to localized rural landmarks like Morris Ravine Sch and the State Division of Forestry headquarters. To the west, the Campbell Hills rise above a landscape defined by ranching and resource extraction, while Oregon City stands as a point of interest for researchers tracking early Butte County settlement patterns.
