About this map

The Lassen Volcanic Nat Park Headquarters serves as a gateway to the high-elevation terrain of Tehama County in the mid-1980s. This survey illustrates a landscape dominated by the Lassen National Forest and the State Game Refuge 1-G, where small settlements like Mineral and Mill Creek act as localized hubs for travelers and park staff. The topography is defined by significant drainage systems, including South Fork Battle Creek and the headwaters of Antelope Creek, which carve through the Plateau region.

Notable landmarks such as the Brokenshire Picnic Area and Mineral Meadows suggest a recreational focus, while more obscure features like the Hole in the Ground and Little Round Valley point to the area's geological complexity. Historically, the presence of a Borrow Pit and a Radio Facility near Morgan Summit indicates the modern infrastructure required to manage these remote public lands. This edition is particularly useful for identifying established forest boundaries and the specific locations of fire stations and mountain summits like Morgan Mtn.
