1977 Map of Lakeport

About this map

Lakeport sits along the western shoreline of Clear Lake, serving as a focal point for this 1977 orthophotoquad. The imagery reveals the established town grid and lakeside development just before the close of the decade, contrasted by the steep, wooded terrain of Mcgregor Ridge to the west. Agriculture and orchards occupy the valley floor between the hills and the water, where Scotts Creek meanders toward the lake. The high-contrast aerial photography provides a distinct view of the land use patterns during this era, from the residential clusters near Rocky Pt to the prominent height of Lakeport Peak. This format emphasizes the actual vegetation and structure footprints as they existed in the late seventies, offering a literal visual record of the shoreline and its surrounding slopes.
