The northernmost of the three Davis Lake lava flows, each associated with a scoria cone, originated from the forested cone in the background. The lava flow spread across a broad area, creating a natural barrier that formed Davis Lake about 5,050-5,600 years ago. Photo by Lee Siebert, 1995 (Smithsonian Institution).
