About this map

Aetna Springs and its surrounding resort grounds sit at the heart of this Napa County survey, showcasing a landscape of mineral springs and recreational development including a Golf Course. The terrain transitions from the deep depressions of Pope Valley and Snell Valley to the dramatic heights of Goat Hill and Snell Peak. The eastern edge of the map captures the rising waters of Lake Berryessa at its spillway elevation, a significant change to the local hydrology during this era.

Resource extraction is evident at the White Rock Mine and a local Gravel Pit, while the presence of a Cem and the Black Oak Villa indicate long-established valley communities. The complex network of drainages, including Pope Creek, James Creek, and Snell Creek, highlights the importance of water management in these ranching and agricultural basins. Roads like Snell Valley Road connect the smaller landholdings within the larger Locoallomi and Guenoc land grants.
