Data from the Global Volcanism Program of the Smithsonian Institution
Details for: Newberry
Newberry volcano, one of the largest Quaternary volcanoes in the conterminous United States, lies 60 km E of the crest of the Cascade Range in central Oregon. The shield volcano contains a 5 x 7 km caldera with two lakes, Paulina Lake (left) and East Lake (right). Newberry has been active during the Holocene at vents within the caldera that have produced pumice cones and obsidian lava flows (like Obsidian flow to the lower right), and outside the caldera forming scoria cones on its broad flanks.

Newberry volcano, situated east of the Cascade Range, covers an area of about 1,600 km2. The low-angle basaltic to basaltic andesite shield volcano includes more than 400 cinder cones, but has also produced major silicic eruptions associated with formation of a 6 x 8 km summit caldera containing two lakes. The earliest eruptive products (less than 0.73 Ma) consist of a sequence of ash-flow and airfall tuffs. Caldera collapse is thought to be associated with major ash deposits from about 0.5 and 0.3-0.5 Ma. These eruptions were preceded by the emplacement of numerous mafic cones and vents, and silicic lava domes and flows, many of which are aligned NNW and NNE parallel to regional fault zones. Six major eruptions from the early Holocene to about 1,300 years ago have included both basaltic lava flows from flank vents, the explosive ejection of rhyolitic pumice and pyroclastic flows, and the extrusion of obsidian flows within the caldera.
