1956 Map of Harvey Mtn

About this map

The Blacks Mountain Experimental Forest dominates the northern landscape of this Lassen County interior, revealing a mid-century terrain defined by forestry research and volcanic geology. The map documents early-century infrastructure including Western Pacific Railroad corridors and former administrative centers such as Cones Hdqrs and Lyons Hdqrs. To the south, the boundary of Lassen Volcanic National Park protects a high-altitude wilderness of small glacial lakes, including Triangle Lake, Jewel Lake, and Caribou Lake. The presence of several historic shelters like Burgess Cabin and Longs Cabin alongside the Bogard Ranger Sta highlights the area's transition from early timber and range management into a more established recreational and federal landscape. Notable geological features like Crater Mountain and the deep blue of Crater Lake punctuate the volcanic plateau near Harvey Mtn.
