LASSEN COUNTY, CALIFORNIA OVERVIEW

The Lassen County mesothelioma lawyers represent people who live in and/or who have been exposed to asbestos in Lassen County, California. Formed from parts of neighboring Plumas and Shasta counties, and named after a local, Peter Lassen, Lassen County is located in the north eastern part of California. It is bordered by Modoc County to the north, Shasta County to the west, Plumas County to the south, and the state of Nevada to the east.

Mining and the California Gold Rush are the two defining historical events which shaped the county, in addition to the Nevada-California-Oregon Railway which ran through the county until 1927. The county’s vast forests led to logging becoming a critical industry in the county, and the addition of the railroads facilitated the beginning of the Red River Lumber Company. This also led to the construction of two lumber mills. These events and the natural terrain made the county reliant on farming, mining, and lumber. Today these areas only make up a very small portion of the local economy.

A piece of Lassen County is occupied by Lassen Volcanic National Park. Located about 60 miles from the county’s city of Susanville, the park is home to numerous volcanoes, mud pots, and pools that bubble and steam vents. Lassen County’s natural wonders also make it part of the Volcanic Legacy Scenic Byway and the Lassen Scenic Byway, a 500-mile scenic highway running through California and Oregon which passes through numerous volcanoes. Lassen County is a popular destination for hiking and camping. The county is also home to the national protected area of Lassen National Forest.
