1958 Map of Calistoga

About this map

Calistoga sits at the head of the Napa Valley in this late-1950s survey, updated in 1980 to show the urban expansion of the town. The landscape reveals a transition from the agricultural valley floor, marked by the Napa River and the Southern Pacific rail line, to the surrounding heights of Diamond Mountain and Summit Spring Ridge. Regional history is deeply embedded in the terrain, from the Bale Mill Historical Monument and Schramsberg Winery Historical Marker to the presence of the Palisade Mine and Kellet Mine. In the center of town, civic life centers around the Fairgrounds, Courthouse, and High Sch. The map also captures the boundaries of Bothe Napa Valley State Park and vestiges of local infrastructure like the Old Napa Railroad Grade and the small Landing Strip near the town center.
