About this map

Juniper Lake lies at the center of this high-elevation volcanic landscape, straddling the northern boundary of Lassen National Forest and the southern reaches of Lassen Volcanic National Park. The terrain is defined by prominent peaks and craters, from the notable summit of Mount Harkness to Crater Butte and the distinct Red Cinder Cone in the northeast. This 2015 record captures the complex convergence of three counties—Shasta, Lassen, and Plumas—amidst a network of glacial lakes including Crystal Lake, Hidden Lake, and Island Lake.

Lower elevations to the west reveal the Warner Valley and its surrounding Warner Valley Rim, where Hot Springs Cr and Kings Cr converge. The Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail winds through the western quadrant, passing near Swan Lake and Bluff Lake. The map details numerous forest access routes such as Juniper Lake Road and the Mosquito Loop, illustrating the infrastructure supporting both conservation and recreation in this geologically active region.
