About this map

Middletown serves as the primary settlement hub in this 1958 survey of Lake County, situated at the confluence of St. Helena Road and local transit routes. The landscape is defined by a series of distinct upland basins, including Collayomi Valley, Guenoc Valley, and the elongated Coyote Valley. These agricultural and pastoral lands are interconnected by Coyote Creek and Putah Creek, which drain the surrounding highlands toward McCreary Lake in the southeast.

Genealogists can identify localized features such as the village Cem and several family-named landmarks like Stienhart Lakes and Gallagher Creek. The presence of the Military Reservation near Hells Half Acre and a Gaging Sta along the creek indicates the area's significance for both land management and water resource monitoring during the late 1950s. High-altitude meadows like Little High Valley provide a clear view of the region's complex topography before modern development.
