1959 Map of Kelseyville

About this map

Big Valley opens into a fertile agricultural landscape north of the prominent Kono Cti Mountain, where the settlement of Kelseyville serves as a central hub for the surrounding orchards and farms. This 1959 field-checked survey highlights the transition from the flat basin, marked by Loasa Road and Merritt Road, to the rising elevations of the Mayacmas Mountains and Bensen Ridge. The map identifies critical local infrastructure, including the Kelseyville High School and a Historical Marker near the town center, while showing the vital water network of Kelsey Creek and Cole Creek feeding the valley floor. To the south and east, the terrain becomes increasingly complex, featuring Boggs Lake and several remote springs like Carlsbad Spring and Poison Smith Spring, which underscore the geological character of the region near Soda Bay.
