1950 Map of Shippee

USGS Topo · Published 1950

About this map

Agricultural development and industrial transport intersect across the Butte County landscape, as seen in this 1950 edition map. The eastern portion is defined by the Campbell Hills, where seasonal drainages like Cottonwood Creek, Gold Run, and Clear Creek flow from the higher ground toward the valley floor. The map highlights a critical junction of California rail history, showing the routes of the Sacramento Northern, the Southern Pacific, and the Western Pacific railroads as they navigate the flatlands of the Esquon area. Small trackside settlements such as Shippee, Ramada, and Blavo serve as focal points for the surrounding orchards and fields. Infrastructure including a complex network of Levee systems and a Siphon illustrate the intensive water management required for farming. Notable landmarks for local researchers include the Floral Sch and the location at Oroville June (Tres Vias).
