Maitland Volcano Level Mountain and the Mount Edziza volcanic complex. Its structure was about long and wide, covering an area of at least . This is similar in size to the Mount Edziza complex approximately west of Maitland Volcano. Like most shields, Maitland consisted of several basaltic lava flows which have low viscosity. This gave the volcano its massive profile and consequently Maitland might have had a broad lava plateau like other large NCVP shields. Like other Northern Cordilleran volcanoes, Maitland Volcano had its origins in continental rifting—a long rupture in the Earth's crust where the lithosphere is being pulled apart. This
