A small volcanic field of rhyolitic lava domes and flows about 20 km S of Reno, Nevada, ranges in age from 2.53 to 1.14 million years. No eruptive activity has occurred during the Holocene, although it was included in the Catalog of Active Volcanoes of the World (Coombs and Howard, 1960) based on its geothermal activity. The area includes about 50 active hot springs, numerous steam vents, and fumaroles, and is an actively producing geothermal field.
