2018 Map of Bogard Buttes

About this map

Lassen National Forest dominates this volcanic landscape, where the high-altitude terrain is defined by the prominent Bogard Buttes and the eastern edge of Lassen Volcanic National Park. This 2018 survey reveals a complex network of forest access routes and specialized spurs, such as Robbers Rd and the Pansey Cutoff, which weave through the timberlands. The hydrological pattern is notable for its numerous alpine basins, including Caribou Lake, Cone Lake, and Tule Lake, which feed into the headwaters of the Susan River. The transition from the rugged volcanic domes like Caribou Peak to the open expanses of Upper Stephens Meadows and Grays Flat illustrates the diverse topography of Lassen County's backcountry. Researchers can trace historical forest management paths and locate remote landmarks like Red Cinder and Black Butte that have long served as primary navigational points in this wilderness.
