NFS FORM 10-800-a OMB No. 1024-0018 (8-86) United States Department of the Interior National Park Service National Register of Historic Places Continuation Sheet Section number E: Statement of Historic Contexts Page 1 Introduction Rising 10,457 feet above sea level, Lassen Peak in northeastern California marks the southern edge of the Cascade Range. It lies within a region of tertiary lava flow that includes not only northeastern California but also portions of Oregon, Washington, Idaho, and Nevada. The massive, snow-covered peak is the southernmost volcano in the series that includes Mounts Baker, Rainier, Hood, and St. Helens. Lassen Volcanic National Park encompasses 106,372 acres, situated primarily in southwestern Lassen County and southeastern Shasta County, California but also incorporating parts of Plumas and Tehama counties. In addition to evidence of volcanic activity, the park offers its visitors beautiful vistas of Mount Shasta to the northwest and of the Sierra Nevada to the southeast. On May 6, 1907 President Theodore Roosevelt established Cinder Cone and Lassen Peak National Monuments, in recognition of the region's geological interest and recreational value. On May 30, 1914, Lassen Peak in northern California's Shasta County erupted with a roar and a tall plume of ash that captured newspaper headlines and attracted scientific attention from across the nation. This explosion began an eruptive phase of the volcano that would climax one year later and finally subside in 1921. Two years after its awakening, in August 1916, Lassen Peak and the surrounding area were designated Lassen Volcanic National Park in recognition of the mountain's status as the only active volcano in the continental United States. The new park encompassed not only the blackened cone of Lassen Peak itself but also a weird volcanic landscape of ancient volcanoes and active thermal areas. The region is heavily timbered with lush summer range beyond the timber line, prone to deep snow, and largely void of mineral wealth. It is also spectacularly beautiful and pleasantly cool in the summer months when the nearby Sacramento and Central Valleys of California are unpleasantly hot. These characteristics all defined the park's cultural history. Significant historic use patterns within the boundaries of Lassen Volcanic National Park include tribal use; exploration, settlement and resource extraction; the development of the recreation and resort industries in the state; and the growth and refinement of a recognized National Park Service architectural tradition and conservation ethic. Each discrete land use and era of development resulted in physical impacts to the natural environment. Yet, in reflection of the park's rugged topography, isolation, and extreme climate - all of which encouraged native and emigrant inhabitants to migrate to more hospitable climates each winter - these cultural resources are relatively rare. Administrators of the nascent park, charged with development of visitor services, described a virtual "blank slate." This paucity of resources also mirrored the politics of park designation and of proposed boundary expansion: to a large extent, park boundaries reflected the difficulty of conserving land known or believed to carry a higher economic value if exploited to its fullest timber, livestock, farming, or real-estate potential. In 1939, a committee studying the advisability of park expansion wrote "the local public [considers] the present boundaries of Lassen Volcanic National Park ... generally satisfactory, since they encompass no areas of any great value as grazing, hunting, or timber land." Lassen Volcanic National Park presented a virtually blank slate because it had been carved from largely inaccessible land promising no great wealth. Extant cultural resources within the park largely reflect these historic land-use trends. Today Lassen Volcanic National Park contains cultural resources associated with overland migration, mining, homesteading, recreation, geological studies, and National Park Service administration. These themes are detailed below, with focus on the impact of development upon the land and the characteristics of the built environment associated with each theme. Those themes of which surviving cultural manifestations are unlikely - including the fur trade, exploration, and overland migration - are not detailed in the following management document: extant resources are so rare or unlikely that comparative analysis of shared characteristics and integrity is not possible (for example, resources associated with the fur trade). Prehistoric and ethnographic resources are addressed in a separate Ethnographic Resource Study.

The original blocky carapace of Lassen Peak (unit dl, 27±1 ka) has been removed by glaciation, whereas a blocky carapace is preserved on the unglaciated domes of Chaos Crags (units rcb, rce and rcf, 1,103±13 yr B.P.). Forested slopes in front of the domes of Chaos Crags are the rhyodacite domes of Sunflower Flat (unit rsf, 41±1 ka). Mount Diller is a remnant of the Brokeoff Volcano (590–390 ka). The slopes in front of Mount Diller, between Chaos Crags and Lassen Peak, are underlain primarily by the rhyodac- ite dome and flow of Krummholz (unit rkr, 43±2 ka, part of the Eagle Peak sequence) and the dacite of hill 8283 (unit d82, 261±5 ka, part of the Bumpass sequence) and are mantled by tephra of the Chaos Crags eruptions (unit pc, 1,103±13 yr B.P.).
