About this map

Napa River marshes and the expanding urban edges of Vallejo define this coastal landscape as it transitioned in the mid-20th century. The intricate network of tidal channels includes Steamboat Slough, China Slough, and Dutchman Slough, weaving around significant land masses like Edgerley Island and Russ Island No 2. Large-scale Salt Evaporators dominate the central wetlands, illustrating the area's industrial brine production near Green Island.

Along the eastern corridor, the Southern Pacific railroad connects industrial and residential nodes like Napa Junction and Chabot Terrace. Evidence of early 20th-century aviation is prominent at the Napa County Airport, while the northern hills of Rincon De Los Carneros reflect the region's agricultural roots with labels like Home Hill and Los Amigos Sch. Private sporting interests are also visible in the marshes, marked by the Lachman Club and Fleishhacker Club.
