1951 Map of Capell Valley

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

Capell Valley and the surrounding eastern Napa County highlands are defined here by a network of ranching flats and narrow canyons between Wragg Ridge and the Vaca Mountains. The landscape reflects a mid-century period of transition, with traditional cattle operations like Munson Ranch and scattered rural schoolhouses such as Capell Sch and Wooden Valley School persisting even as water infrastructure transformed the region. The upper reaches of Lake Berryessa appear at the northeastern corner, while Moskowite Reservoir and Milliken Reservoir underscore the critical role of water storage in this terrain. Small-scale industrial history is marked by the Asbestos Mine near Steel Canyon, and an isolated Landing Strip provides a hint of increasing accessibility to these remote valleys. Along the western edge, the heights of Atlas and Red Mtn overlook the deeper canyons that drop toward the Napa Valley floor.
