2021 Map of Burney Mountain East

About this map

Burney Mtn and a series of volcanic features define this high-elevation landscape within the Lassen National Forest. The map detail reveals the distinct isolation of cinder cones and prominent peaks, including Brown Butte, Dudgen Butte, and Cornaz Peak, which rise above the surrounding flats and valleys. This 2021 survey traces the modern road network, from Ca 89 through the Hat Creek Valley to the more remote timber roads like McCloud South and East Red Rock. Water is a scarce but critical resource in this terrain, marked by scattered points like Cornaz Spring, Pot Spring, and the small Cornaz Lake. This modern record of the eastern slopes of the southern Cascades serves as a precise guide for understanding the drainage patterns into Hat Cr and the topographical complexity of the northern California wilderness.
