About this map

Napa serves as the focal point of this mid-century survey, revealing a landscape defined by its agricultural heritage and early industrial expansion. The city core is surrounded by productive valleys, including Browns Valley and Congress Valley, while the Southern Pacific railroad lines and Napa River facilitate transport. Local history is prominent through landmarks such as the Juarez Old Adobe and the sprawling grounds of the Napa State Hospital (Imola PO).

The map highlights the era's educational and social infrastructure, featuring sites like Napa College and multiple neighborhood institutions including Westwood Sch and Lincoln Sch. To the south, industrial markers like a Steel-pipe Factory, Tannery, and Shipyard Acres reflect the local economy’s diversity. Along the eastern hills, the Silverado Trail skirts the edge of the valley near Vichy Springs, connecting the valley's rural reaches with its growing urban center.
