1952 Map of Palermo

USGS Topo · Published 1953

About this map

The Feather River defines the western landscape of this Butte County region, where the industrial and agricultural patterns of the early 1950s are etched into the terrain. Extensive Dredge Tailings north of Palermo reveal the scale of historic gold mining operations that reshaped the earth along Wyman Ravine. These massive gravel deposits sit in contrast to the structured orchard and residential layouts of South Oroville and Thermalito.
