1959 Map of Lake Berryessa

About this map

Lake Berryessa and the Lake Berryessa Recreation Area dominate this landscape along the border of Yolo and Napa counties. This revised survey reveals the specialized mid-century recreation economy that developed around the reservoir's western shoreline, notably at Spanish Flat and various resorts. While the waters of Putah Creek submerged the historic town of Monticello, the Monticello Cem serves as a poignant reminder of the community relocated to the hills.
