About this map

Sulphur Springs Mountain and the steep ridges of Jameson Canyon dominate this landscape, where the southern reaches of the Napa Co Solano Co line define local geography. The map documents the post-war suburban footprint of the Vallejo area, centered around Chabot Terrace, Flosden Acres, and Harry Floyd Terrace. These residential developments are clustered near essential civic infrastructure like the Permanente Foundation Hospital and the Jr High Sch, reflecting the rapid mid-century growth of the region.

Industrial and transport corridors are clearly etched across the terrain, from the Southern Pacific railroad lines to the critical junction at Cordelia Junc. The landscape transitions from the managed waters of Lake Chabot and Green Valley Creek to the industrial activity at the Quarry near Napa Junction. This document also captures the cultural landscape of the era, noting the Drive-in Theater and the County Fairgrounds, alongside smaller rural settlements like Creston and Page Flat.
