2018 Map of Lower Lake

About this map

Clearlake and Lower Lake anchor this 2018 survey, reflecting a landscape defined by significant elevation changes and the complex drainage of the Cache Creek watershed. The grid-based expansion of Clearlake contrasts sharply with the mountainous terrain to the east, where summits like Bally Peak and Quackenbush Mtn dominate the horizon. In the lower reaches, the Lower Lake Cemetery and Yuba College serve as important local landmarks for those tracing family history or institutional growth in Lake County. To the southeast, the terrain opens into the Excelsior Valley, while the north and east are marked by rugged features such as Redbank Gorge and the Al Slides. The map also captures the hydraulic network of Burns Valley and various named canyons, including Soda Canyon and Grizzly Canyon, illustrating how the community is integrated into the steep northern California topography.
