However, it can also mean that the community might still exist, but was significantly larger or had a more 'official' existence in the past than it does now. Unfortunately our sources of data have proven to be unreliable. If you can provide us with more specific information about Loope, please let us know so that we can improve our accuracy.
<2>If you're interested in how the shape of California's counties, including Alpine, have changed over time, we recommend the Atlas of Historical County Boundaries.
<3>The elevation is an estimate for the area around Loope - it will be higher in some places and lower in others.
