Thompson Flat Cemetery District
Formed in 1931, the Thompson Flat Cemetery District is located northwest of the Feather River on Thompson Flat Cemetery Road off of Cherokee Road in the rural area north of the City of Oroville, CA. The District is bordered by Lake Oroville on the east, the Thermalito Diversion Pool to the south, Campbell Creek on the north, and Highway 149 on the west. The District includes a small portion of the City of Oroville, but the remainder of the land within the District boundaries lies within the unincorporated area of Butte County. The District operates the Thompson Flat Cemetery located at 89 Thompson Flat Cemetery Road in Oroville, CA.
The California State Department of Water Resources owns land surrounding the Thompson Flat Cemetery. Adjacent to the Thompson Flat Cemetery is the Pioneer Cemetery, which was established when portions of Butte County were flooded as part of the State Water Project. During the project, bodies were disinterred from cemeteries that would be flooded and reinturred at the Pioneer Cemetery.
