About this map

Lassen National Forest terrain dominates this 1980 survey, where the timbered slopes of Goodrich Mountain and Round Mtn overlook the expansive Mountain Meadows Reservoir. The industrial and social life of the region is anchored at Westwood, with the nearby enclave of Pine Town and the Western Pacific railroad line providing the necessary transport links for this mountain economy.

Genealogists and local historians will find specific landmarks of interest, such as the Westwood Cemetery, a lone Grave north of the reservoir, and scattered homesteads like Home Ranch and the Ranch at Coppervale. The landscape is defined by its water system, including Robbers Creek, Goodrich Creek, and several springs, which supported the grazing lands of Mountain Meadows and McKenzie Meadows before the terrain rises into the surrounding national forest peaks.
