1977 Map of Lakeport

About this map

Lakeport sits along the western shoreline of Clear Lake in this 1977 orthophotoquad, revealing a landscape defined by the interface of water, agriculture, and rising terrain. The aerial imagery captures the town's grid and development concentrated near the shore, while the interior is dominated by the winding course of Scotts Creek and a patchwork of orchard-like agricultural plots. To the west, the topography climbs sharply toward Lakeport Peak, marking the transition from the lakeside flats to the upland ridges. This specific aerial survey provides a rare visual record of the shoreline before later modern developments, showing the exact configuration of Rocky Pt and the surrounding hillsides just as they appeared in the late 1970s.
