On the North Fork of Yuba River in Yuba County, near Missouri Bar. It was named because of its shape of the bar. Gold was discovered in May, 1850, and apparently was worked out after one season.

"In May, 1850, Holton Kilbourn, Wallace Kilbourn, Robert Patent, Joseph Vaughn, and T.G.H. Jones, now of Nicolaus, Sutter County, located this place. The Kilbourns were from Michigan, Patent from Oregon, and Vaughn and Jones from Fort Madison, Iowa. The bar was named from its peculiar shape. It was worked out and abandoned."
