Lakeward

The walled city, containing the shops and most of the public buildings, was dominated by Castle Rock, a huge rock rising sheer from the plain, crowned with ancient battlements and fortifications, and bearing on its lakeward face famous cuneiform inscriptions.

McKay stood on the lakeward skirts of the little coppice.

Lakeward, partly hidden by a fringe of trees, was a green little meadow through which a creek ran, and in it were two tents.

The puma sat there for several minutes in the oblique honeyed light, tautly upright, looking like a Lalique ornament as it gazed lakeward into the rising sun.
