About this map

Aetna Springs and Pope Valley anchor this portion of the northern interior hills, where the landscape is defined by a series of high valleys and seasonal watercourses. The drainage patterns of Pope Creek and its tributaries, including James Creek and Swartz Creek, reveal the complex geography of the Vaca Mountains and the Mayacamas range. High points like Snell Peak and Goat Hill overlook enclosed basins such as Bohn Valley and Snell Valley.

Modern infrastructure follows the contours of the land along Butts Canyon and Oat Hill Road, providing access to isolated water bodies like Upper Bohn Lake and Weeks Lake. The boundary between Lake and Napa Counties cuts across the northern ridges, marking a geopolitical divide in a region dominated by vineyard-adjacent foothills and ranching terrain. This 2021 survey traces the persistent rural character of these valleys, where names like Spanish Valley and Swartz Canyon remain central to the local geographic identity.
