1951 Map of Mt. Vaca

About this map

Pleasants Valley serves as the central artery of this mid-century landscape, nestled between the Blue Vaca Mountains to the west and the English Hills to the east. The map records a rural agricultural and ranching economy just as modern water management began to reshape the region, evidenced by the presence of Lake Berryessa in the northwest corner and the ancient naming of Rio De Los Putos along the Solano and Yolo county line.
