About this map

Tule Lake and the surrounding basin of the Mendocino Mountains anchor this 1996 revision of Lake County. The landscape is defined by the drainage of Middle Creek and Clover Creek as they descend into Clover Valley, supporting a mix of tribal lands and small agricultural settlements. The map highlights the tribal heritage of the area, including the Upper Lake (Pomo) Rancheria and Robinson Rancheria, alongside the Bloody Island Massacre Historical Marker near Bloody Island.

Social and educational hubs are documented at the Union High Sch in Upper Lake and the Glen Eden Sch further south. To the west, the resort history of the region is evident at Witter Springs and Saratoga Springs. High-altitude ranching and forest management are noted in the Mendocino National Forest, where named sites like Hunter Ranch and Wyman Glade mark the transition from the valley floor to the ridgelines.
