About this map

Lassen National Forest dominates this mid-century landscape, characterized by extensive volcanic terrain and dedicated forestry research areas. The Blacks Mountain Experimental Forest occupies a large portion of the northern terrain, while the southern reaches transition into the protected wilderness of Lassen Volcanic National Park. Timber and land management are evident through the presence of the Bogard Ranger Station and various administrative sites like Cones Hdqrs (Site) and Lyons Hdqrs (Site).

Hydrography in this high-altitude environment is marked by isolated bodies of water like Poison Lake and Crater Lake, along with seasonal meadows such as Burgess Meadows. The area's history of resource extraction is visible in several Cinder Pits and a Gravel Pit. An old railroad grade and the Pacific Lassen Road provide glimpses into the logistical network that once supported local logging and forest service operations.
