About this map

Aetna Springs and the surrounding resort landscape of northern Napa County are documented here through a multi-decade lens, with initial 1957 photogrammetric data updated by 1978 aerial revisions. This corner of the California Coast Ranges is characterized by a mix of narrow valleys and prominent peaks like Snell Peak and Devils Head Peak. The map reveals a land defined by water and ranching, from the northern reach of Lake Berryessa to the smaller catchments of Upper Bohn Lake and Duvall Lake.

Resource extraction and rural life are evidenced by the White Rock Mine and a local Cem, alongside winding routes like Butts Canyon Road and Pope Valley Road. The 1978 revisions (indicated in purple) highlight shifts in the landscape, including new structures and water features that appeared since the late 1950s, providing a specific record of rural development in the Snell Valley and Pope Valley regions.
