Lowell Hill was a mining town located on the ridge between Steephollow Creek and the Bear River, about 10 miles east of Nevada City and about 4 miles north of Alta, as the crow flies. It was part of Little York Township and the center of what was generally called the Lowell Hill mining district, a rich channel of gold bearing ore that ran from around Remington Hill to the north down to the Bear River and then crossed over towards Dutch Flat and Alta.
