Fig. 47—Map of the region between Cinder Cone and Lassen Peak in the northern Sierra Nevada, California, showing the area included within the angle of vision of Fig. 46. The map, a reduced section from the Lassen Peak, Cal., topographic sheet, 1:250,000, published by the U. S. Geological Survey, is oriented for direct comparison with the photograph. Scale, 1:307,000.
Fig. 48—The top of Cinder Cone, looking from an airplane down into the crater, showing a large saucer-shaped crater 750 feet across, with a deeper crater formed at the time of a later volcanic explosion, which looks like a cup in the middle of the saucer and extends to a depth of 240 feet below the outer rim. On the barren cinder slopes at the right is the pathway by which the crater can be reached.
Fig. 49—Mountain, valley, and plain in the Simi Hills about 15 miles northwest of Santa Monica, Cal. (see Calabasas, Cal., topographic sheet), showing, in the right center of the picture, headward erosion from two parallel valleys, in strong contrast with the gently rounded, slightly dissected part of the mountain (left center) into which the streams have not yet eaten their way. Farther up the mountain is more maturely dissected and the divides are narrow and steep. On its top the mountain shows little effect of stream erosion (right). Strongly cut gorges and arroyos appear where the streams enter the plain (left). Probably north is at the bottom of the photograph. Scale, probably about 1:20,000.
