1894 Map of Lassen Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1914

About this map

Lassen Peak dominates the center of this reconnaissance study, serving as the high point for a landscape defined by volcanic peaks and early California industry. Surveyed in the 1880s, the map illustrates the rugged intersection of the Shasta, Tehama, Lassen, Plumas, and Butte county lines. The transition from the timber-rich highlands to the settled valleys is evident through the presence of numerous specialized facilities like the Eureka Mill, Belle Mill, and a Saw Mill near Butte Meadows. Small mountain communities such as Hat Creek (Cassel PO) and Prattville are linked by established passes like Noble Pass. The drainage network is meticulously detailed, tracing the headwaters of the Pit River and the complex forks of Battle Creek, while landmarks like the Cinder Cone and Lake Bidwell mark the volcanic terrain to the north and east of the main peak.
