About this map

Yountville and the surrounding Napa Valley floor are documented here during a period of transition, showing the agricultural and institutional foundations of the region before the modern viticultural boom. The Napa River meanders through the valley, flanked by the historic Silverado Trail and the Southern Pacific railroad line. Significant local landmarks include the sprawling State Veterans Home and the State Game Farm, reflecting the area's long-standing role in public service and resource management.

Uplands to the east reveal a landscape defined by dramatic topography and water management, featuring Stags Leap, Atlas Peak, and the Rector Reservoir. The map clearly delineates ancient land divisions like the Caymus Grant Bdy, offering a glimpse into the Mexican land grant system that shaped California's property lines. From the heights of Foss Valley to the resort grounds at Napa Soda Springs, the survey captures the diverse character of the valley's eastern ridges.
