1894 Map of Lassen Peak

About this map

Lassen Trail snakes across the southern reaches of this landscape, marking a vital historic corridor through the volcanic terrain of Northern California. Surveyed in the 1880s, the map reveals a rugged economy defined by early timber and milling operations, including Eureka Mill, Belle Mill, and a simple Saw Mill near Butte Meadows. These small settlements and work sites are connected by primitive roads and drainage systems that feed into the Pit River and Battle Creek.
