About this map

Capay Valley serves as the central artery for this interior landscape, where Cache Creek winds between the Blue Ridge and the Capay Hills. The settlement of Guinda sits at a narrow point in the valley, acting as a hub for the surrounding ranchlands and scattered agricultural pockets. Local history is deeply embedded in the rural infrastructure, evidenced by the Rumsey Rancheria and historical education sites like Indian Sch and Cañon Sch.

The terrain is defined by numerous drainage systems, including Johnson Canyon and Murphy Canyon, which feed into the valley floor. Small-scale resource exploration is noted by an Oil Well Test Site near Everett Flat, while the abundance of named springs such as Indian Mike Spring and King Spr highlights the importance of water sources in this dry California interior. The boundary between Yolo Co and Napa Co cuts across the western ridgeline, marking the divide between these two northern California counties.
