1894 Map of Lassen Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1933

About this map

Lassen Peak dominates this 1880s landscape, captured before its famous 20th-century eruptions and the formal establishment of the surrounding Lassen Volcanic National Park. The survey reflects a region defined by early timber and water interests, shown through the presence of Belle Mill and Eureka Mill along the western slopes. Early pioneers settled at Hat Creek (Cassel P.O.) and Prattville, the latter situated near the headwaters of the North Fork Feather River before the creation of Lake Almanor. The terrain is remarkably detailed for a survey without spirit level control, tracing the volcanic geology of Cinder Cone and Prospect Peak. In the north, Burney Valley and Goose Valley suggest the open pastoral lands that first attracted settlers to the volcanic plateau. This map preserves the locations of early mountain outposts like Lyonsville and Longville, offering a view of the southern Cascades during the peak of the 19th-century resource era.
