About this map

Lake Almanor and the industrial infrastructure of the North Fork Feather River watershed dominate this mid-1990s landscape within the Lassen National Forest. The map documents a complex hydro-electric network, following the flow from the Intake Tower near Prattville through a Tunnel and Penstock to the Powerhouse at the head of the Butt Valley Reservoir. This engineering footprint is set against a backdrop of historic timber and ranching routes like the Humboldt Road.

Genealogical and local history details appear in smaller settlements such as Longville, which features a small Cem, and the Keefer Ranch near Keefer Spring. In the southeastern corner, the Plumas National Forest contains the Mule Shoe Mine near Ohio Creek, indicating the region's diverse resource history. From the recreation-focused Boat Ramp & Beach to the secluded Soda Spring in Humbug Valley, the map illustrates the dual identity of the region as both a managed utility corridor and a forest retreat.
