1959 Map of Guinda

About this map

Capay Valley defines the core of this landscape, where the fertile flatlands along Cache Creek contrast sharply with the steep ridges of the Blue Ridge and Black Mtn. The 1950s settlement pattern is anchored by Guinda and Tancred, with evidence of local education and community history preserved through labels for the Indian Sch, Cañon Sch, and a lone Cemetery. Agricultural activity is evident in the numerous wells and bench marks that dot the valley floor, while the surrounding uplands are carved by named drainages like Wildcat Canyon and Johnson Canyon.
