1956 Map of Lassen Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

Lassen Peak dominates this volcanic landscape along the Shasta and Tehama County line, marking a region of rugged geothermal activity and early mountain industry. Lower elevations reveal a history of logging and ranching at Forward Mill and the Glines Ranch, while the Rockland School and nearby Cemetery at Lyonsville anchor small mid-century communities. The transition from industrial timber land to protected wilderness is evident as one moves toward Lassen Volcanic National Park, where features like Lake Helen and Emerald Lake sit at the base of Brokeoff Mountain. The map details early recreational and administrative infrastructure, including the Park Headquarters, the Ranger Station at Mineral Summit, and numerous legacy campsites like Shelton Camp and Dotys Camp.
