About this map

Calistoga serves as the focal point of this northern Napa Valley landscape, where the Napa River flows through a corridor of early viticulture and industry. The map documents a significant era of preservation and history, featuring the Robert Louis Stevenson Memorial State Park and the Bale Mill Historical Monument. The industrial character of the Mayacamas Mountains is clearly visible through an extensive network of quicksilver and mineral operations, including the Oat Hill Extension Mine, Mirabel Mine, and Helen Mine.

Transit patterns of the late 1950s are defined by the Southern Pacific rail line and the winding Silverado Trail, while land use includes the Middletown Rancheria and the Mark West Creek Rancheria. Significant local landmarks like the Schramsberg Winery Historical Marker and the Fairgrounds near the center of town illustrate the region's emerging identity as a premier wine and recreation destination.
