About this map

Lake Almanor and the surrounding timberlands of the Lassen National Forest define this high-altitude landscape in Plumas County. The settlement of Prattville sits along the southwestern shore, connected by Prattville Butt Reservoir Rd to the southern Butt Valley Reservoir. This area reflects a decades-long integration of water management and recreation, with established communities like Almanor and Lake Almanor West serving as focal points for residential and seasonal development.

Tracing the western terrain reveals a network of forest access routes including Humboldt Rd and the Humbug Humboldt Cross Road, which navigate through the Humbug Valley. The map identifies specific points of historical and geological interest, such as Soda Spring and the Red Rock feature, alongside smaller waterways like Butt Cr and Yellow Cr. These features illustrate the transition from the lakeside settlements to the more isolated reaches of the Plumas National Forest to the south.
