About this map

Mineral and Morgan Springs serve as the primary human settlements in this high-elevation landscape, where the volcanic heritage of the region is evident in the complex topography. Situated at the western gateway to Lassen Volcanic National Park, the area is defined by massive features like Morgan Mtn and Turner Mtn, alongside distinct geological formations such as the depression known as Hole in the Ground.

Water plays a central role in the local geography, with the S Fork Battle Cr and Mill Cr carving through the terrain. Notable hydrologic features like White Sulphur Spring and Tamarack Spring suggest the geothermal activity common to this part of the Cascades. For recreation and land management, the map traces the intersection of Lassen National Forest boundaries with local infrastructure like the Ski Hill and the meadows at Belfast Meadows.
