Lakeview’s center stands about 4,760 ft above sea level. Within three miles the land runs from 4,720 ft to 6,360 ft, a difference of 1,640 ft: steep hill country. The highest named summit within 15 miles is Crane Mountain, about 8,420 ft, 11 miles south-southeast.
Under the town center the state geologic map shows Alluvial deposits (sand, gravel, silt), from the Holocene, less than 12,000 years old.
The section below crosses 6 rock units mapped at the surface.
Heights every 0.1 mile from the Copernicus GLO-90 surface model; vertical exaggeration about 8×. The colored band under the surface is the rock the state geologic map shows at the surface, not a picture of what lies beneath.
Sand, gravel, silt. Age: Holocene, less than 12,000 years old. About 9 mi of the line.
Rhyolite, dacite. Age: Late Eocene to Early Miocene, 16 to 38 million years old. About 6 mi of the line.
Clay, silt, sand. Age: Pleistocene, less than 2.6 million years old. About 5 mi of the line.
Andesite, dacite. Age: Oligocene to Miocene, 5.3 to 34 million years old. About 2 mi of the line.
Rhyolite, dacite. Age: Eocene to Pliocene, 2.6 to 56 million years old. About 1 mi of the line.
Rhyolite, dacite. Age: Miocene to Pliocene, 2.6 to 23 million years old. About 1 mi of the line.
From the USGS State Geologic Map Compilation (Horton and others, 2017), the states’ geologic maps joined at a common scale.
Heights from Copernicus GLO-90 (a surface model: it includes buildings and tree canopy); summits from USGS GNIS; rivers from USGS NHDPlus HR; rock from the USGS State Geologic Map Compilation.
A raindrop that lands in Lakeview reaches Goose Lake by way of Thomas Creek: about 8 river miles. Goose Lake has no outlet to the sea: the water leaves only by evaporating or soaking into the ground.
Traced down the USGS NHDPlus V2.1 river network from the Census center point of Lakeview; river miles along the main stem, rounded.
