About this map

Lassen Volcanic National Park and the Lassen National Forest converge in this high-altitude landscape of the Southern Cascades. The terrain is defined by a dense cluster of alpine basins and volcanic features, including North Caribou and South Caribou. A complex network of Forest Service routes, such as Manzanita Spur West and Echo Lake Spur, provides access to numerous remote water bodies. Hydrological patterns are dominated by Silver Lake in the north and the expansive Mud Creek Rim to the south. The area serves as a critical watershed, with headwaters for Robbers Cr, Bailey Cr, and Dillon Cr carving through the volcanic soil. Locations like Cooper Swamp and The Hole indicate the varying drainage across this protected wilderness near the Lassen and Plumas county line.
