1952 Map of Medicine Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

Medicine Lake sits at the center of this volcanic highland, surrounded by a complex landscape of shield volcanoes and expansive lava flows. The 1952 field check documents an era of resource extraction and fire management across four different national forests, including the Modoc National Forest and Klamath National Forest. Massive obsidian and rhyolite features like Glass Mountain and Little Glass Mountain dominate the terrain, while the northern section includes the rugged basaltic formations of Lava Beds National Monument.
