About this map

Capell Valley serves as a central hub for this corner of Napa County, where winding roads like Capell Valley Rd and Monticello Rd connect the area's distinct agricultural flats and upland basins. The landscape is defined by its series of small, named valleys, including Little Valley, Wooden Valley, and Foss Valley, many of which follow the courses of creeks such as Suisun Cr and Capell Cr. The northern edge of the map features the southern reaches of Lake Berryessa, while higher elevations are marked by landmarks like Atlas Peak and the Vaca Mountains along the Solano County border.

Water management and local settlement patterns are evident through features like Milliken Reservoir and Moskowite Reservoir. Isolated homesteads and local developments are scattered across named clearings such as Adams Flat and Jack Rabbit Flat. These features, combined with the dense network of canyons like Steel Canyon and Wragg Canyon, illustrate a region defined by its rugged topography and the persistence of rural communities like Atlas and Gordon Valley.
