About this map

Lassen Volcanic National Park anchors the southern portion of this landscape, showcasing a complex geological environment of Painted Dunes, the Fantastic Lava Beds, and Cinder Cone. To the north, the Pit River flows through Fall River Mills, where a prominent Power Plant marks the early industrial utilization of the region's water resources. The terrain is a mosaic of volcanic peaks and timbered flats, structured by the Fruit Growers R R and the Pacific Western Road.

Family ranching and early commerce are evident through numerous named sites such as Bognuda Ranch, Russell Dairy, and the DeLashmutt Ranch. Educational and civic outposts like Wilcox Sch and the Halls Flat Ranger Sta provide specific points of interest for genealogists tracing families in these remote corners of Shasta and Lassen Counties. The presence of the Emigrant Trail cutting through the volcanic field offers a tangible connection to the westward migration routes of the nineteenth century.
