About this map

The Feather River corridor and its intricate water management systems define this portion of Butte County. The agricultural and residential landscape is interconnected by a complex network of irrigation infrastructure, including the Western Canal, Henderson Ditch, North Ditch, and Center Ditch, which support the citrus and olive-growing heritage of the region. Settlements such as Palermo and Vista Robles sit alongside these waterways, illustrating the historic reliance on diverted river water for local development.

Transportation and infrastructure are prominent, with the Oroville Municipal Airport and Siller Brothers Incorporated Airport serving the area's aviation needs. Researchers will find the locations of Oroville Cem and Memorial Park Cem useful for genealogical work, while the distinct residential clusters of South Oroville, Garden Ranch, and Oak Grove show the suburban expansion south of the primary municipal center. The map documents a transition from established canal-fed ranching to modern residential parcels.
