1970 Map of Oroville Dam

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Oroville Dam stands as the central engineering feat in this 1970 landscape, marking a massive transformation of the Middle Fork Feather River and its surrounding canyons. The map documents the creation of the Lake Oroville State Recreation Area, showing the inundation of historic river valleys and the relocation of infrastructure like the Bidwell Bar Bridge. While the newly formed lake dominates the western half, the eastern terrain remains defined by deep ravines and ridges such as Big Ridge Road and Ponderosa Way.
