1945 Map of Lower Lake

About this map

Clear Lake anchors this mid-century landscape, surrounded by a burgeoning network of resorts and springs that defined Lake County's early tourism economy. The 1943 surveying shows established destinations such as Salminas Resort, Seigler Springs, and Hobergs, alongside the newer residential developments of Clear Lake Highlands and Clear Lake Park. Beyond the shoreline, the map reveals a history of resource extraction, from the Sulphur Bank near Borax Lake to the Baker Mine (abandoned) in the eastern hills.
