About this map

The Napa River valley and its surrounding ridges define this 1960 landscape, showing the transition from the valley floor at St Helena to the elevated communities of Angwin and Pope Valley. The map illustrates the region's viticultural identity with numerous Wineries scattered among the foothills, particularly near Silverado Trail and Lodi Lane. Academic and healthcare centers are prominent, anchored by Pacific Union College on Howell Mountain and the Sanitarium community.

Transport and recreation are centered on features like the Southern Pacific rail line and Bell Canyon Reservoir. The eastern portion of the map is dominated by the Las Posadas State Forest and the rugged terrain of Catacula. Of particular interest to local historians are the rural schools such as Hardin Sch and Howell Mountain Sch, along with the Morris Cem located near the Recreation Flat and 4H Camp.
