1949 Map of Cuttings Wharf

About this map

The Napa River dominates this mid-century landscape, winding through a complex network of wetlands and reclaimed islands such as Edgerley Island and Russ Island No 2. Settlement is concentrated along the riverbanks and rail corridors, featuring maritime landings like Cuttings Wharf and Dutton Landing (Brazos Sta). This area, where Napa County meets San Pablo Bay, shows a transition from agricultural grants like Rincon de los Carneros to industrial and residential expansion near Napa Junction. Early aviation is represented by Knights Airport and Vallejo Sky Harbor, reflecting post-war development patterns. Researchers will find a mix of rural schoolhouses, including Los Amigos Sch, alongside growing suburbs such as Chabot Terrace and Flosden Acres. The extensive sloughs, including China Slough and Mud Slough, illustrate the intricate hydrology of the northern bay before modern large-scale urbanization changed the shoreline.
