About this map

Clear Lake dominates this 2018 survey, its expansive waters defining the geography of Lake County's shoreline settlements. The map highlights the contrast between the densely developed lakeside residential areas and the rising terrain of the Mendocino National Forest. Along the eastern shore, the communities of Lucerne, Pepperwood Grove, and Paradise Valley follow the narrow corridor between the water and the steep slopes leading up to Pine Mtn.

South of the main lake body, the landscape shifts toward the marshy lowlands of Shirley Slough and McGaugh Slough near the agricultural settlement of Finley. The intricate shoreline details include prominent landmarks like Kono Tayee Point and Henderson Point, while smaller inland water features such as Little Borax Lake and Big Soda Spring reflect the region's unique volcanic and geothermal geology. Residential pockets like Buckingham Park and Dali-Dona are clearly delineated against the rugged backdrop of High Valley Ridge.
