About this map

Kelseyville serves as the focal point of this Lake County survey, situated at the base of the prominent volcanic complex of Mt Konocti. The landscape is defined by its dramatic relief, rising from the town's orchards and vineyards into the high summits of Wright Peak, Howard Peak, and South Peak. To the east, the Buckingham Bluffs and Buckingham Peak overlook the surrounding valleys, while Benson Ridge separates the major drainage basins.

Water is a critical element of the local geography, seen in the winding course of Kelsey Cr and the presence of specialized features like Boggs Lake and Carlsbad Spring. Genealogists and local historians can find precise locations for the Kelseyville Pioneer Cem and the larger Kelseyville Cem, providing a window into the settlement patterns of this highland region. The map also traces the transition into the Mayacmas Mountains to the south, where the terrain becomes increasingly complex around Storm Canyon and Sweetwater Cr.
