About this map

The geothermal and resort landscapes of southern Lake County are defined by a high concentration of mineral springs and active energy production. Whispering Pines and Anderson Springs occupy a terrain shaped by volcanic activity, where numerous Geothermal Wells dot the slopes near the Lake Co Sonoma Co line. This 1993 revision details the intersection of early twentieth-century resort culture and modern resource extraction, noting several historic spring locations including Harbin Springs, Howard Springs, and Ettawa Springs.

Heavy timber and steep ridges dominate the central portion of the sheet within Boggs Mtn State Forest. Settlements like Loch Lomond, Hobergs, and Cobb are situated along the winding corridors of Seigler Valley and Kelsey Valley. These communities, often centered around mountain recreation and thermal water, are connected by narrow routes such as Bottle Rock Road and Seigler Canyon Road, illustrating the area's development as a retreat destination.
