2012 Map of Wilson Valley

About this map

Cache Creek serves as the primary drainage through this corner of Yolo County, winding through a complex geography of ridges and named flats. The landscape is defined by its numerous branching canyons, such as Judge Davis Canyon and Petrified Canyon, which descend toward the central Wilson Valley. Higher elevations are marked by distinctive landmarks including Grizzly Peak and the Twin Sisters to the south. This 2012 survey illustrates the remote character of the region, where infrastructure is limited to long-standing corridors like Rocky Creek Rd and Morgan Valley Rd. The distribution of water sources, from Dunfield Spring in the north to Bear Spring near Butte Rock, suggests the importance of reliable water in this upland environment, where Kennedy Flats and Dunfield Flats provide rare stretches of level ground among the hills.
