About this map

Chester serves as the primary hub at the northwestern edge of the massive Lake Almanor reservoir, showing a residential and recreational landscape shaped by its proximity to the water. The town layout is defined by the N Fork Feather River and a network of local roads such as Collins Rd and Andrews Rd, leading toward the Chester Airport. Across the water, Peninsula Village and the Lake Almanor Country Club mark the high-density residential development of the Lake Almanor Peninsula.

The northern terrain rises toward Manzanita Mountain and the distinct volcanic features of Mud Creek Butte and Mud Creek Rim. This area is crisscrossed by Forest Service routes, including Forest Rte 10, indicating a landscape managed for both timber and recreation. Significant recreational markers like Catfish Beach and Last Chance Campground illustrate the enduring importance of the shoreline to the local economy and lifestyle in Plumas County.
