1959 Map of Brooks

About this map

Cañada de Capay and the Capay Valley dominate the northeast corner of this 1959 survey, where the settlements of Brooks and Cadenasso sit along the banks of Cache Creek. The landscape transitions sharply from these agricultural flats into the prominent heights of Blue Ridge and Rocky Ridge, peaking at Berryessa Peak. This rugged interior is marked by a complex network of canyons such as Palmer Canyon and Brick Chimney Canyon, alongside numerous water sources like Big Spring and Medical Spr. In the southwest, the rising waters of Lake Berryessa are visible near the Putas Recreation Area. A network of historic transportation routes, including the Old Toll Road and various jeep trails, provides evidence of early mountain passage between Yolo and Napa counties.
