About this map

The Napa River dominates this mid-century landscape, winding south through complex marshes and islands toward San Pablo Bay. The river is flanked by extensive salt evaporators and islands such as Edgerley Island and Coon Island, reflecting an era of active industrial salt production and tidal land management. Near the historic crossing at Suscol, the terrain shifts toward the rolling hills of the Rincon De Los Carneros and Huichica land grants, where legacy ranching and farming roads like Buchli Station Road and Ramal Road define the rural character.
