About this map

Hidden Valley Lake serves as a central landmark in this 2018 survey of Lake County, where residential development and the natural drainages of the Inner Coast Ranges intersect. The settlement at Middletown anchors the southwest corner of the map within the Collayomi Valley, while the surrounding terrain is defined by a series of distinct basins including Excelsior Valley, Long Valley, and Coyote Valley.

Water management and local geography are illustrated through the network of creeks like Putah Cr and Crazy Cr, which feed into various reservoirs such as Stienhart Lakes, McCreary Lake, and Lake Burgundy. Local history is reflected in several unique place names, from the winding Jerusalem Grade to the interestingly titled Hells Half Acre near the eastern margin. The map captures a landscape characterized by both planned lakeside living and the traditional ranching routes that traverse the higher elevations.
