1959 Map of Asti

About this map

Alexander Valley viticulture and the riverside economy of the late 1950s define this survey of the Russian River corridor. The settlement of Asti serves as a focal point, anchored by its winery operations and the Washington Sch, while the Northwestern Pacific railroad and the Redwood Highway provide the primary transit arteries through the valley. The map reveals the relationship between the flat agricultural lands and the surrounding uplands, including the Rincon De Musalacon and the heights of Pine Mountain. To the west, the Cloverdale Airfield sits near the riverbank, while the interior is marked by numerous Springs and a network of jeep trails reaching toward the Radio Repeater Station and the Mayacmas Mountains. Notable topographical features like Devils Den North Branch Canyon and Big Sulphur Creek illustrate the transition from the fertile valley floor to the rugged northern terrain.
