2018 Map of Burney Mountain East

About this map

Lassen National Forest terrain dominates this eastern flank of the Burney region, characterized by a complex of volcanic landforms and forest service infrastructure. The map details a landscape of prominent cinder cones and elevations including Dudgen Butte, Brown Butte, and Doyle Butte, while Cornaz Peak rises above the secluded Cornaz Lake. This area serves as a critical watershed, evidenced by the presence of South Burney Spring and Burney-Spring, which feed the surrounding drainage systems toward Hat Creek. Industrial and administrative use of the forest is visible through the Cinder Pit and a network of specialized roads such as the Brown Butte Loop and North Work Center. The distribution of these features reveals the dual role of the land as both a protected natural resource and a managed timber and mining environment in the early 21st century.
