2021 Map of Shippee

USGS Topo · Published 2021

About this map

The Sacramento Valley floor dominates this landscape, where a sophisticated network of water management features supports the agricultural character of Butte County. Centered on the settlement of Shippee, the area is defined by its extensive hydraulic infrastructure, including the Cherokee Canal, the Western Canal, and Main Ditch B. These artificial waterways cut across natural drainages like Dry Cr and Gold Run, illustrating the transformation of the valley for large-scale irrigation. In the southeastern corner, the topography shifts at the Campbell Hills, rising above the lowlands near Oroville Junction. To the south, the presence of the Thermalito Afterbay and various irrigation arteries like the Butler Canal and High Lift Lateral highlight the region's role in California's managed water systems. Small rural hubs such as Ramada and Blavo are linked by a grid of named roads, including Nelson Rd and Shippee Rd, that follow the underlying section lines of the Central Valley.
