1958 Map of Lower Lake

About this map

Clear Lake dominates the northwest corner of this terrain, its shoreline dotted with developing communities like Clearlake Highlands and Clearlake Park during the late 1950s. The landscape is defined by its hydrothermal and mineral activity, evidenced by the presence of Sulphur Bank Mine and numerous mineral springs and resorts that became regional fixtures. Settlements such as Whispering Pines, Hobergs, and Anderson Springs reflect the area's mid-century identity as a retreat destination nestled within the wooded uplands of Boggs Mountain State Forest.
