1958 Map of Clearlake Oaks

About this map

The northeastern shores of Clear Lake dominate this mid-century survey, revealing a landscape defined by both recreational shoreline and deep-seated geological industry. In the southern reach, the Sulphur Bank Mine sits adjacent to the Sulphur Bank Rancheria, marking a site of significant geothermal and mineral interest near Sulphur Bank Point. The township of Clearlake Oaks serves as the primary hub, where Schindler Creek meets the lake near Stubbs Island. To the north, the terrain climbs sharply into the Mendocino National Forest and across the High Valley Ridge. This transition from the developed waterfront at Glenhaven to the isolated cattle operations at Garner Ranch and Kennedy Ranch in Long Valley illustrates the region's historical dual identity as a destination for vacationers at Paradise Cove and a working landscape for ranchers and miners.
