About this map

Lake Berryessa dominates this landscape, its expansive waters filling the valley floor and surrounding numerous landforms such as Big Island and Goat Island. The map documents the developed shoreline as it appeared in the early 21st century, featuring recreational hubs like the Berryessa Marina and Spanish Flat Resort. Near the western shore, the Monticello Cem serves as a poignant reminder of the community displaced by the reservoir's creation decades earlier.

The eastern periphery is defined by a dense network of drainage systems, including Portuguese Canyon and Wragg Canyon, which cut through the uplifted terrain toward the water. Residential developments like Berryessa Highlands and the Steel Canyon Resort cluster along the southern and western edges, connected by primary routes such as Knoxville Rd. The map provides a detailed record of the infrastructure supporting this major California waterway, from the Capell Cove Boat Ramp to the scattered points of interest like Gunn Ranch and Sugarloaf Park.
