1892 Map of Modoc Lava Bed

USGS Topo · Published 1899

About this map

The Modoc Lava Bed dominates this reconnaissance of the high volcanic plateau where Siskiyou, Modoc, Shasta, and Lassen counties meet. Fieldwork from the 1880s reveals a landscape defined by volcanic landmarks such as Cinder Cone, Glass Mt, and the Ice Cave. The volcanic character of the terrain dictated early settlement patterns, with isolated outposts like Bieber, Lookout, and Pittville clustered along the southern watercourses, while the north is marked by large basins like Rhett Lake and Little Klamath Lake.
