About this map

Lassen National Forest terrain dominates this high-altitude landscape, where volcanic peaks and seasonally fluctuating wetlands define the local geography. High points like Crater Mtn and Bogard Buttes overlook a series of volcanic flats and valleys, including Grays Valley and Little Round Valley. The hydrography of the region is centered on volcanic basin lakes such as Feather Lake and Long Lake, which feed into the headwaters of the Susan River near Norvell Flat.

A dense network of logging and forest service roads reflects a century of timber management, with routes like Westwood Logging Rd and numerous spurs such as Robbers Spr and FGS Cutoff crisscrossing the pines. Local geology is further highlighted by the presence of a Cinder Pit and several distinct hollows, including Windy Hollow, which suggest the complex drainage patterns inherent to this part of the southern Cascades.
