1995 Map of Reading Peak

About this map

Geothermal activity and high-elevation topography dominate this survey of the southern Cascades, centered on the hydrothermal features of Lassen Volcanic National Park. The landscape is defined by its volcanic history, most notably the Devastated Area northeast of Lassen Peak, and the active thermal basins at Bumpass Hell Spring and Cold Boiling Lake. The map details the transition from the protected Lassen Volcanic Wilderness into the surrounding Lassen National Forest, showing the intersection of Plumas, Shasta, and Tehama counties.
