USGS Topo · Published 1984About this map
Stirling City serves as the industrial and residential hub of this section of the Sierra Nevada foothills, documented here in the late 1970s. The landscape is defined by the steep drainage basins of Butte Creek and the West Branch Feather River, where legacy mining operations like the Royal Drift Mine and the Dix Mine once sought gold. A network of flumes, siphons, and diversion dams illustrates the complex water management systems required for both mining and local power, including the infrastructure near De Sabla.
