About this map

Bartlett Springs and the surrounding high-country watersheds define this 1942 survey of the North Coast Ranges. The map illustrates a landscape shaped by geothermal activity and early 20th-century ranching, with numerous mineral springs and camps like Green Flat Camp and CCC Camp scattered among the ridges. At the southern edge, the shoreline of Clear Lake reveals established lakeside communities at Clearlake Oaks and Glenhaven, alongside the industrial footprint of the Sulphur Bank Mine.

Tracing the complex network of canyons and glades, researchers will find family-named holdings such as the Garner Ranch, Schindler Ranch, and Kowalski Ranch. The proximity of the Cache Creek Rancheria and Rattlesnake Rancheria to the growing lake settlements highlights the cultural layer of the region. Educational and public facilities, including the East Lake Sch and the Pacific Point Guard Sta, provide anchor points for local history within the steep terrain of Hough Ridge and Pacific Ridge.
