Volcanoes of North America: United States and Canada, by Wood, C.A. and Kienle, J., 1990, Cambridge University Press, New York, NY, (800) 221-4512.
We get so many questions about how many volcanoes are in Washington or Oregon or Canada, we thought we'd break it down and give you a listing of volcanoes by state (and country). If your state is not listed it means there are no volcanoes there (as described below). This list is compiled from Volcanoes of North America: United States and Canada, by Wood and Kienle. They list all volcanoes that are younger that 5 million years old and are morphologically distinct. There are about 262 volcanoes and volcanic fields in North America.
