1956 Map of Chester

About this map

The timber and transit hub of Westwood anchors the southeastern corner of this map, showcasing its intersection with the Pacific Western Railroad and proximity to the Mtn Meadows Res. The landscape transitions from the developed community of Chester and the recreational shoreline of Lake Almanor to the managed wilderness of the Swain Mountain Experimental Forest. Between these points, the map documents smaller outposts such as Heckle Ranch and Benner, alongside local educational infrastructure like the Fletcher-Walker School.
