1958 Map of Aetna Springs

About this map

Aetna Springs and its historical resort grounds anchor the southwestern corner of this survey, which captures the intersection of Lake and Napa counties in the late 1950s. The landscape is defined by the transitions between Pope Valley and the northern reaches of the Locoallomi land grant. Water management is a central theme, evidenced by the presence of Lake Berryessa along the eastern edge and the network of drainages including Putah Creek and James Creek. A snapshot of rural industry and recreation is visible through labels for the White Rock Mine, a local Gravel Pit, and the Golf Course at the springs. The map documents early property divisions and access routes like Butts Canyon Road and Snell Valley Road, which connected isolated settlements such as Black Oak Villa to the broader agricultural valleys.
