About this map

Calistoga serves as the focal point for this survey of the upper Napa Valley, showing the town’s layout before significant modern expansion. The agricultural and industrial roots of the region are clearly visible, with the Southern Pacific railroad line threading through the valley floor to serve settlements like Larkmead. Evidence of early Napa viticulture and milling history is preserved through labels for the Schramsberg Winery Historical Marker and the Bale Mill Historical Monument, while the Kellet Mine and Palisade Mine indicate the mineral interests that once shared these hillsides with the vineyards.

The terrain is defined by Diamond Mountain and the steep ridges of Humana, where numerous trails like the Rattlesnake Ridge Trail and Simmons Trail crisscross the high ground. Public lands and natural landmarks are well-documented, including Bothe Napa Valley State Park and the distinct volcanic geology represented by Petrified Forest Road. This map provides a clear look at the mid-century infrastructure of the area, from the Kimball Canyon Dam to the local High Sch and Fairgrounds.
