USGS Topo · Published 1973About this map
Oroville is presented here during a period of massive hydraulic transformation following the completion of the Oroville Dam project. The landscape is defined by the heavy engineering of the Feather River, including the Thermalito Diversion Pool, the Thermalito Forebay, and the extensive Thermalito Power Canal. These modern water features contrast sharply with the older industrial layers of the region, such as the historic Miocene Canal and the extensive dredge tailings south of the city, which mark the legacy of gold dredging.
