Cima volcanic field is a volcanic field in San Bernardino County, California, close to the border with Nevada. [3] [4] The volcanic field covers a surface area of 600 km 2 (230 sq mi) within the Mojave National Preserve west of the Cima Dome and consists of about 40 volcanic cones with about 60 lava flows.

It is just over 1,100 ft (340 m) in elevation at its southern end and just over 2,000 ft (610 m) in elevation at its northern end. Its flat top is part of a stack of multiple 80 mi (130 km)-long lava flows that have been eroded to form a series of mesas that extend from Knights Ferry to Sonora, California. Its crest varies in width from a ...
Pisgah Crater, or Pisgah Volcano, is a young volcanic cinder cone rising above a lava plain in the Mojave Desert, between Barstow and Needles, California in San Bernardino County, California. The volcanic peak is around 2.5 miles (4.0 km) south of historic U.S. Route 66 - National Old Trails Highway and of Interstate 40 , and west of the town ...
Around Aberdeen, lava flows from diverse vents form a large field with aa and pahoehoe forms [11] and neatly preserved surface features. [9] Lava flows reach lengths of 9 kilometres (5.6 mi) [3] and have thicknesses of 0.01–30 metres (0.39 in – 98 ft 5.10 in) and sometimes lava flows from separate cones overlap, such as in Papoose Canyon.

The Petroglyph Point is an archaeological site within the Lava Beds National Monument, located southeast of Tulelake, California.Petroglyph Point contains one of the largest panels of Native American rock art in the United States.
The volcanic field consists of two lava flows, the Broken Back flow and the Carrizozo lava flow (Carrizozo Malpais), the second youngest in New Mexico. [5] Both lava flows originated from groups of cinder cones. The Broken Back flow is approximately 16 kilometres (10 mi) long and the Carrizozo, one of the largest in the world, is 68 kilometres ...
Historically, it is believed that Coffeepot Crater held a pond of lava that would occasionally breach the sides of the crater to flow freely into the field. [ 4 ] Jordan Craters is approximately 120 miles (200 km) southwest of Boise, Idaho [ 3 ] and 18 miles (30 km) northwest of Jordan Valley, Oregon .
