Monticello Dam stands as the defining engineering feat of this 1959 landscape, holding back the waters of Lake Berryessa where the Putah Creek once flowed freely through the canyon. The transition from the steep, brush-covered slopes of the Vaca Mountains and Rocky Ridge to the alluvial plains of the Sacramento Valley is immediate. These eastern flats are marked by historical land divisions like the Rio De Los Putos grant, where drainage is managed through systems like Chickahominy Slough and Union School Slough.
