1977 Map of Bartlett Mtn

About this map

The northern reaches of the Clover valley system meet the high ridges of Lake County in this late-1970s orthophotograph. Unlike traditional line-drawn maps, this aerial perspective reveals the exact texture of the chaparral and timbered slopes, documenting the precise extent of vegetation and land clearing during the era. Small pockets of flat land like Twin Valley provide sharp contrast to the dense, shadow-draped canyons that characterize this part of the California Coast Ranges. The map serves as a physical record of the landscape before more modern developments or fire cycles may have altered the visual patterns of the hillsides and ranch lands.
