1968 Map of Silver Lake
USGS Topo · Published 1979About this map
Paulina Marsh dominates the eastern half of this Lake County landscape, a complex wetland fed by the convergence of Buck Creek, Silver Creek, and Cowley Creek. During this late-1960s survey, the area south of the marsh supported a concentrated ranching economy, with family-named operations like the ZX Ranch, Lane Ranch, and Linebaugh Ranch established along the periphery of the wetlands. The small settlement of Silver Lake serves as the focal point for the region, positioned near a Landing Strip and the junction of Silver Lake Road. The interplay between the high desert terrain to the west and the riparian environment to the east is marked by several resource extraction sites, including a Cinder Pit and multiple Gravel Pits, which suggest the infrastructure needs of this isolated agricultural community.
