What is a Former Settlement?

A former settlement is a place that used to have people living there, but now it's empty or gone. Sometimes, these places are called "ghost towns" if buildings are still standing but no one lives there. In the case of Pipers, it was a recognized place on maps many years ago.

Where Was Pipers Located?

Pipers was located in Butte County, California. Butte County is in the northern part of California, known for its beautiful natural areas and agricultural lands.

The exact spot where Pipers once stood is 1,388 feet (or 423 meters) above sea level. This measurement, called elevation, tells us how high a place is compared to the ocean.

When Did Pipers Exist?

Pipers appeared on maps as late as 1897. This means that at that time, it was a known place where people lived or worked. Over time, for reasons like people moving away, resources running out, or new roads being built elsewhere, many small settlements like Pipers faded away and are no longer marked on modern maps.
