2015 Map of Bogard Buttes

About this map

Lassen National Forest and the eastern edge of Lassen Volcanic National Park dominate this high-elevation landscape, where volcanic peaks and alpine basins create a complex topography. Massive landmarks like Black Butte and Caribou Peak overlook a dense concentration of water bodies, including Caribou Lake, Eleanor Lake, and the source waters of the Susan River. The terrain is marked by distinct volcanic features such as Red Cinder Cone and the Bogard Buttes, with several flat meadows like Grays Flat and Robbers Flat breaking the varied elevation. A network of specialized forest roads and spurs, such as Pansey Cutoff and Stephens Cutoff, suggests a landscape managed for both timber and recreation. Local industry is briefly noted at the Stephens Borrow Pit, while numerous small lakes like Jewel Lake and Cowboy Lake dot the southern wilderness, illustrating the transition from volcanic ridges to riparian basins.
