About this map

Middletown stands at the junction of several low-lying basins in Lake County, serving as the primary hub where Collayomi Valley meets the lower slopes leading toward the complex drainage of Putah Creek. The landscape here is defined by its series of distinct valleys, including Coyote Valley and Long Valley, which are separated by upland ridges and connected by routes like Butts Canyon Road. The map documents a mix of long-standing rural features, such as the local Cem and a Historical Marker, alongside newer recreational developments centered on Hidden Valley Lake and its associated Golf Course.

Significant water management and institutional footprints are evident across the terrain, from the Stienhart Lakes in the north to the US Coast Guard Reservation near the eastern margin. The presence of McCreary Lake and Lake Burgundy indicates a highly modified hydrological environment designed for local utility and residential leisure. Small-scale industry is represented by a Gravel Pit, while the agricultural heritage of the region persists in the naming of the surrounding valleys and the network of local thoroughfares like Spruce Grove Road.
