+ About this map
Lassen Peak rises 10,457 feet at the southern end of the Cascade Range, one of the largest plug dome volcanoes in the world. It grew as a mass of stiff lava pushed up on the flank of Tehama, an ancient volcano that has since collapsed and eroded away. Between 1914 and 1917 it produced the most recent Cascade eruptions before Mount St. Helens, devastating the slopes northeast of the summit and prompting the creation of Lassen Volcanic National Park.
This map captures the dome’s compact, forceful shape. The contour lines stack tightly on every side, tracing slopes that climb steeply from the surrounding volcanic tableland without the long shoulders a stratovolcano builds. Around the base, the pattern loosens into the jumbled terrain of old lava flows and the remnant ridges of Tehama, including Brokeoff Mountain standing to the southwest as the largest surviving piece of the vanished volcano.
