A Lake Almanor Postcard

A Lake Almanor Postcard

This is one of those Ebay items I came across. I am not sure what caught my attention the illustration itself, or the description on the reverse. “Lake Almanor, Plumas Co., Calif, is an artificial lake 20 miles long and covers 30,000 acre valley surrounded by heavy timbered mountains affording the finest wild game and deer hunting in the West. Since 1913, after completion of the dam which was begun in 1906, Lake Almanor stores 1,300,000 acre feet of water which contains Rainbow Trout weighing up to 16 pounds.”

While there is no date, these types of color linen postcards were popular in the 1940s and early 1950s.
