About this map

St Helena and the surrounding Napa Valley wine country appear here during a period of steady growth and academic expansion. The map details the central cluster of Pacific Union College in Angwin, alongside local landmarks like the Newton Observatory and Veteran Heights. Along the valley floor, the Southern Pacific railroad line runs parallel to the Napa River, connecting the town with various Winery operations and the settlement of Krug. In the hills above, the Sanitarium community sits tucked near Pratt Valley.

Hydrological features are prominent, from the northern Pope Creek drainage down to the southern expanse of Lake Hennessey. The rugged eastern terrain is dominated by the Las Posadas State Forest, which includes the Merritt B Pratt Pool and several named water bodies like Lake Ellen. These high ridges, including Howell Mountain and Glass Mtn, provide a sharp contrast to the developed corridors along the Silverado Trail and Howell Mountain Road.
