About this map

Lake Almanor and the engineered waters of Butt Valley Reservoir dominate this corner of Plumas County. The landscape is defined by the managed shoreline of the Almanor Peninsula and the residential developments of Lake Almanor Country Club and Lake Almanor West. The presence of the Butt Valley Tunnel and the Prattville Butt Reservoir Rd indicates the complex water-management and power infrastructure linking these basins.

Smaller settlements like Almanor and Prattville serve as primary hubs along the northern shore, while the map preserves the location of Longville to the southwest near Humbug Cr. Recreational use is evident through numerous forest service roads and established sites such as Almanor Campground and Cool Springs Campground. Natural landmarks like Soda Spring and Cantebury Gulch provide specific points of interest for local history researchers and geographers studying the drainage patterns of Butt Cr and its tributaries.
