About this map

St. Ignatius serves as the focal point of this Mission Valley landscape, where an intricate network of irrigation infrastructure defines the local geography. Significant genealogical landmarks are concentrated here, including the Saint Ignatius Old Catholic Cem, the Saint Ignatius Catholic Cem, and the Snyelmn Snitmtmne Cem. These sites, along with Pleasant View Cem near Old Hwy 93, reflect the deep community and cultural history of Lake County.

Water management is the primary driver of the terrain's character, evidenced by the Pablo Feeder Canal and numerous diversions such as the Mission B Canal and Mission C Canal. These man-made channels draw from natural sources like Mission Creek and Ashley Creek to support the valley's agricultural base. To the east, the rising topography leads toward the Mission Reservoir, while the presence of the St Ignatius Airport highlights the area's modern infrastructure within a predominantly rural and riparian setting.
