About this map

Cache Creek defines the center of this landscape, carving through the Capay Valley between the high western ridges of Blue Ridge and the complex canyons to the east. At the center of the valley's cultural geography, the settlement of Guinda serves as a primary hub, while the Rumsey Rancheria and the historic Indian Sch reflect the diverse history of the region's inhabitants. To the south, the map identifies Tancred and the Cañon Sch near the Yolo and Napa County line.

Transportation and resource extraction are visible through an extensive network of trails and jeep trails that navigate the steep terrain of Reiff Canyon and Hamilton Canyon. Notable family-named sites such as Patterson Spr and DuBois Spr are scattered across the hillsides. An Oil Well (Test Site) on the eastern slopes of the valley indicates the era's ongoing exploration of the region's geological potential.
