Volcanic field in Lake County, Oregon, United States
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Squaw Ridge Lava field, also known as the East Lava Field, is a young basaltic field located in the U.S. state of Oregon southeast of Newberry Volcano.[1] The flow erupted from the Lava Mountain shield and is likely related to the Four Craters Lava Field, both of which were created after Mount Mazama erupted.[2]
