About this map

Westwood and its surroundings in the late twentieth century are defined by the meeting of the High Sierra and the Great Basin, dominated by timberlands and hydroelectric infrastructure. The community features essential civic landmarks such as Fletcher Walker High Sch and a local Grave, while the Westwood Airport and a Westwood Dump sit on the town's western periphery. Transport and utility routes are evident along Telephone Road and the various service tracks traversing the Lassen National Forest.

The landscape transitions into recreational and residential developments along the northern shores of Lake Almanor, where Hamilton Branch, Peninsula Village, and Lassen View provide access to the water. To the east, the Mountain Meadows Reservoir and its associated Intake Tower illustrate the managed hydrology of the region, fed by water bodies like Robbers Creek and the marshy grounds near Clear Creek Junction. This survey documents a balance between industrial history, forest management, and the growth of lakeside communities.
