About this map

Clear Lake dominates this portion of Lake County, its expansive shoreline punctuated by residential pockets and recreational landings. Along the northeastern edge, the community of Lucerne sits at the base of the Mendocino National Forest, where steep terrain like Hogback Ridge and High Valley Ridge descends toward the water. The map traces the winding paths of Lakeshore Blvd and various local roads that connect lakeside settlements, including Pepperwood Grove and the residential tracts of Buckingham Park.

South of the main lake body, the landscape shifts toward the marshy reaches of Shirley Slough and the outlet of Kelsey Creek. This area includes unique geological and hydrologic features such as Big Soda Spring and Little Borax Lake, indicating the volcanic history of the region. From the secluded Paradise Valley to the established neighborhoods of Soda Bay, the map captures a contemporary look at the balance between the lake's ecological fringes and the hillside developments overlooking Dorn Bay.
