About this map

Cache Creek bisects this Yolo County landscape, carving a primary corridor between the Capay Hills and the Sweitzer Hills. The small settlement of Guinda serves as the focal point of the valley floor, where the grid of Cleveland St and Forrest Ave meets the rural road network. The surrounding terrain is defined by a series of dramatic canyons and high points, including China Peak and Black Mtn.

Historically, water access has dictated the land use pattern here, evidenced by numerous named sources like Butler Spring, Fredericks Spring, and Patterson Spring. The presence of Tancred to the southeast along the creek illustrates the linear development common in these river valleys. From Paradise Valley to the north down to Casey Flats, the map documents a transition from upland ranching or natural areas to the more structured agriculture of the Capay Valley.
