1894 Map of Lassen Peak

About this map

Lassen Peak dominates this late-nineteenth-century landscape, a focal point where the borders of Shasta, Lassen, Tehama, and Plumas counties converge. The map documents an era of active resource extraction and geothermal discovery, evidenced by the cluster of volcanic features like Cinder Cone and Bumpass Hot Springs alongside industrial outposts. The presence of Eureka Mill, Belle Mill, and a Saw Mill near Butte Meadows highlights the importance of timber and milling to the regional economy during the 1880s survey period.
