1958 Map of Lakeport

About this map

Lakeport and the northern shores of Clear Lake anchor this mid-century topographic survey, showing a landscape defined by waterfront resorts and agricultural settlements. The map documents significant cultural sites including the Upper Lake (Pomo) Rancheria and the Bloody Island Massacre Historical Marker near the Slough. Along the western foothills, the legacy of California’s mineral spring era is visible at Saratoga Springs and Witter Springs PO. The eastern shoreline is dotted with vacation developments like Nice and Lucerne, while the southern portion of the quadrangle shows the productive lands of Big Valley Rancheria near Finley. High peaks such as Pine Mtn and White Rock overlook the basin, illustrating the transition from the lake's aquatic economy to the timber and grazing lands of the surrounding mountains.
