Lava Beds cave maps

Here’s a Catacombs Cave map. This intricate and challenging cave is over a mile long. While the first several hundred feet can be navigated standing, soon you’ll be forced to crawl. For experienced cavers only!

This is an alternate Cave Loop Road map, showing cave details and layout underneath the parking areas and points of interest. This map does a great job showing the size of the cave complex.

Here’s a Lava Beds cave map, showing the location of different caves in the park beyond the Cave Loop Road: Merrill Cave, Balcony Cave, Boulevard Cave, Valentine Cave, Heppe Cave, and Skull Cave.

The Lava Beds road map is similar to the one above, but shows more roads to the park’s east. Also useful: it labels the winter road closures to the south of the park.

This is an Indian Wells Campground map, Lava Beds’ only campground. Reservations are not accepted; sites are only first-come, first-served. But the campground typically only fills on holiday weekends.

Here’s a Lava Beds lava flow map, showing the flows from the Medicine Lake volcano. Note also the large former sizes of Tule Lake and Lower Klamath Lake. Click the image to view a full size map or download the PDF.

Archived Lava Beds maps

The National Park Service often publishes new maps and updates old ones; I do my best to upload new Lava Beds National Monument ones I find to this page. As maps get updated, I move old ones down to this section. I never delete maps as I want to preserve the story of how parks change over time. But be advised: the maps down here have newer versions further up this page.

This is the old Lava Beds map from the mid-2010s brochure, showing the entire park including roads, trails, and lava fields. Click the image to view a full size map or download the PDF.

This is an early 2010s Lava Beds National Monument map. Although it’s now out-of-date, I still like this edition because it shows all cave names and locations, something the modern brochure map doesn’t do.

This is an old Lava Beds Campground map that shows all the campsites in both loops as well as the amphitheater, restrooms, parking areas, and beginning of the Bunchgrass Trail and Three Sisters Trail.

…and more!
