1892 Map of Lassen Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1892

About this map

The volcanic landscape of the southern Cascade Range is documented here at the end of the nineteenth century, centered on the towering Lassen Peak and the surrounding high country. Early timber and milling operations are prominent, with Eureka Mill and Belle Mill situated along the mountain's western flanks, while a Saw Mill is located further south near Butt Mt.. The map illustrates a transitional era of travel where established mountain settlements like Shingletown and Prattville were connected by paths like the Lassen Trail. To the north, the Pit River winds through volcanic plateaus, passing Fall River Mills and Carbon. The complex drainage patterns of the North Fork of Battle Creek and Digger Creek highlight the difficult terrain that early settlers and industry navigated before the era of modern development and forest management.
