1957 Map of Prospect Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Lassen Volcanic National Park dominates the southern landscape of this mid-century survey, showcasing a geologically active environment shaped by relatively recent volcanic activity. The northeastern portion features the striking Fantastic Lava Beds and Painted Dunes, while the Devastated Area near Crescent Crater provides evidence of more immediate environmental shifts. Historic transport routes cross the terrain, most notably the Emigrant Trail and Noble Trail, which provided passage through this complex landscape for early travelers. Settlement is concentrated along the waterways, with the Old Station (PO) and various campgrounds such as Bridge Campground and Big Springs Campground lining Hat Creek. In the more isolated eastern reaches, the Butte Creek Ranch and Mountain Home stand out against the backdrop of the Lassen National Forest and the Caribou Peak Wild Area.
