About this map

Westwood and the adjacent Pine Town serve as the primary residential anchors in this part of the Lassen National Forest during the mid-1970s. The landscape is defined by the expansive Mountain Meadows Reservoir, which dominates the southern half of the sheet, and the high-elevation terrain of Goodrich Mountain. Evidence of early 20th-century industry and infrastructure is visible through the Flume following Goodrich Creek and the presence of the Pacific Western line.

Local history and genealogy researchers will find several significant markers, including the Westwood Cemetery, an isolated Grave near the town center, and smaller ranching outposts like 101 Ranch and Home Ranch. The survey captures the area as it transitioned from a heavy timber and rail focus toward more modern forest management, with Coppervale situated near the northeastern forest boundary and various Springs and meadows like McKenzie Meadows punctuating the wooded slopes.
