About this map

Westwood serves as the primary hub in this mountain landscape, characterized by its grid of residential streets like Elm St and Fir St near the eastern edge of the Lassen National Forest. The map documents a significant intersection of water management and topography, where the shoreline of Lake Almanor meets the community at Hamilton Branch. This area, situated along the Plumas and Lassen County line, highlights the late 20th-century development patterns of recreational and mountain communities.

Water resources define the geography, from the sprawling Mountain Meadows Reservoir to smaller features like Big Cove and Walker Spring. The terrain rises toward Little Dyer Mtn, while the drainage system is marked by Robbers Creek and Rock Creek. These natural features are interwoven with a growing network of local roads, such as Lake Almanor Dr and Big Springs Rd, showing the residential expansion around the lake's northeastern edge.
