Mines and Mineral Resources of Plumas County (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from Mines and Mineral Resources of Plumas County
Gold is the only metalliferous product of importance in the Butte Valley district. It has been produced from rich placer diggings in gravels of both recent and ancient streams. Considerable gold is also being recovered from quartz veins, and prospects for the future are promising.
The settlement of Butte Valley (sometimes known as Butt Valley) is situated at an elevation of ten miles by stage from Crescent Mills on the Indian Valley Railway. It is about ten miles by trail west of Greenville, and about nine miles by stage road south of Prattville. Prattville is sixteen miles by stage northwest of Greenville, which is ten miles northwest of Keddie, a station on the main line of the 'western Pacific Railroad. During the winter months heavy falls of snow and rain make transportation difficult. The roads are good during the summer.
Timber consists of pine, fir, spruce and tamarack. Water is plentiful, since the North Fork Feather River, Indian Creek, Yellow Creek, and several small streams flow through the district.
