2021 Map of West Prospect Peak

About this map

Nobles Emigrant Trl and the historic Emigrant Road converge in this high-altitude landscape within Lassen Volcanic National Park and Lassen National Forest. The map documents a complex network of historic routes and modern trails, including the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trl, weaving through prominent volcanic landforms like West Prospect Peak, Raker Peak, and Crescent Crater. The terrain transitions from the open stretches of Dersch Meadows and Anklin Meadows to the high, rugged passage of Emigrant Pass. A dense cluster of alpine hydrology is present, with Cluster Lakes, Soap Lake, and the source waters of Hat Cr and its various forks defining the drainage patterns. These features provide a detailed record of the historic movement across the Sierra Nevada and Cascade intersection.
