About this map

Clear Lake dominates the western half of this survey, defining the shoreline and residential patterns of modern Lake County. Along the northeastern banks, the established communities of Nice and Lucerne are detailed with a dense network of residential streets and shoreline developments, including Laurel Beach and the hillsides rising toward High Valley Ridge. The map illustrates a landscape where the steep terrain of the Mendocino National Forest meets the water's edge, creating a narrow corridor for infrastructure such as Lakeshore Blvd.

Further south, the map documents the peninsular developments of Buckingham Park and the distinct neighborhoods at Soda Bay and Dali-Dona. Local landmarks like Kono Tayee Point and Henderson Point mark the transition from the open lake to the more sheltered waters of Dorn Bay. The presence of smaller water bodies, such as Little Borax Lake, and rugged interior features like Pierce Canyon and Pine Mtn, provide a comprehensive view of the area's complex topography and specialized lakeside communities.
