About this map

The agricultural valleys and volcanic highlands of Lake County are captured here during a period of transition between early mining and burgeoning resort tourism. The town of Kelseyville sits amidst a network of irrigation, while to the south, the landscape shifts into the geothermal activity of the Mayacamas Mountains. Evidence of the region’s mineral wealth is scattered across the ridges, from the Cornucopia Copper Mine to the Cloverdale Quicksilver Mine and Esperanza Mine.

Resorts and springs are prominent features, including Highland Springs and the Geyser Hotel near Geyser Peak. Along the Russian River in the southwestern corner, the Northwestern Pacific railroad serves the community of Asti. Numerous family ranches, such as Moulton Ranch and Crocker Ranch, dot the landscape, illustrating the localized land use before modern development. Notable landmarks like Gunns Power Co and the Hendriksen Store indicate the infrastructure of this rural economy in the early twentieth century.
