Database of the Geologic Map of the Lassen Peak, Chaos Crags, and Upper Hat Creek Area, California - Database

Metadata Updated: July 6, 2024

A database of geologic map of Lassen Peak, Chaos Crags, and Upper Hat Creek volcanic area as described in the original abstract: The Lassen Peak, Chaos Crags, and Upper Hat Creek map area lies near the southern end of the Cascade Range in northern California. The map area includes parts of the three elements that together form the Lassen volcanic center: the Lassen dacitic dome field, the Central Plateau andesitic lava field, and the underlying deeply eroded and partly altered Brokeoff andesitic stratocone. The Lassen volcanic center is the southernmost active long-lived center of the present-day Cascades volcanic arc. This geologic map contributes to understanding the youngest major volcanic events in the evolution of the Lassen dacitic dome field and provides the basis for a revised assessment of its volcano hazards by emphasizing the youngest eruptive products of the dome field. The most recent eruptive activity, mainly steam-blast eruptions, occurred intermittently between May, 1914, and June, 1917, and climaxed during a week of magmatic eruptions of Lassen Peak in May, 1915. The original report consists of a geologic map and an accompanying explanatory pamphlet. Geologic mapping was compiled at a scale of 1:24,000 for the entire mapping area with some 1:2,500-scale mapping for the summit area of Lassen Peak. The geologic mapping was compiled as a digital geologic map database in ArcInfo GIS format.
