1980 Map of Westwood West

About this map

Westwood serves as the primary hub in this Sierra Nevada landscape, shown here at the transition between the Lassen and Plumas county lines. The community is defined by its relationship to the water and the rails, with the Western Pacific railroad skirting the edge of the Mountain Meadows Reservoir and passing through Clear Creek Junction. To the southwest, the shoreline of Lake Almanor reaches into the frame at Big Cove, where the growing community of Hamilton and the Peninsula Village development sit near the water's edge. Much of the northern terrain remains protected under the Lassen National Forest, characterized by numerous water sources like Brush Spring and Tamarack Springs. The presence of an Indian Ole Dam and a Historical Marker near Clear Creek suggests layers of local history preserved in the landscape alongside infrastructure like the Westwood Airport.
