About this map

Clear Lake dominates this mid-century survey, surrounded by established settlements and ancestral lands. The county seat of Lakeport shows its concentrated development along Rumsey Bay, while several tribal lands including Robinson Rancheria and the Upper Lake (Pomo) Rancheria reflect the area's complex cultural history. Just north of the lake's edge, the Bloody Island Massacre Historical Marker stands near Rodman Slough, marking a significant site of conflict.

The shoreline is dotted with local landmarks like the Lakeside Hospital and Saratoga Springs, while the southern reaches near Soda Bay highlight the early recreational footprint of Clear Lake State Park. Agriculture and local services are evident in the small community of Finley and the proximity of the County Fairgrounds. The terrain transitions abruptly from the alluvial plains of the Big Valley to the steep ridges of the Mendocino National Forest, where peaks like Hells Peak and Pilot Grove overlook the drainage of Middle Creek and the North Fork Cache Creek.
