1894 Map of Lassen Peak

About this map

Lassen Peak stands at the center of this 1890s reconnaissance, surrounded by the diverse volcanic topography of the southern Cascades. The map documents an era of active resource extraction and early settlement, with numerous lumber and grain operations such as Eureka Mill, Belle Mill, and a Saw Mill near Butte Meadows Hill. The landscape is a network of early pioneer routes, most notably the Lassen Trail, which navigates through the high terrain between Flatiron Hill and the Battle Creek Meadows.
