2018 Map of Westwood West

About this map

The rugged boundary between Lassen and Plumas counties defines this landscape, where the southern extent of Lassen National Forest meets the developed northern shores of Lake Almanor. The settlement of Westwood serves as a primary hub, organized by a residential grid of streets like Birch St and Elm St, while the community of Hamilton Branch sits at the confluence of its namesake waterway and the lake. To the east, the Mountain Meadows Reservoir dominates the lowlands, fed by Robbers Cr and Hamilton Br. The terrain is marked by significant vertical relief, rising from the waters to landmarks such as Little Dyer Mtn and Brush Hill. A network of springs, including Tamarack Springs and Walker Spring, suggests a landscape rich in groundwater, supporting the forestry and recreational land use patterns evident in the modern road network.
