This lively pictorial map of Napa County, California, by Dan Adair offers a visually engaging and stylized representation of the region, showcasing its recreation (fishing and sunbathing) points of interest, and agricultural richness.
The map employs a vibrant green and brown color scheme, with Napa County prominently outlined. Key locations and landmarks are highlighted with charming illustrations, including depictions of cattle, vineyards, sunbathers and fishermen, reflecting the area's agricultural and outdoor pursuits.
The left panel lists 25 points of interest, ranging from recreational activities like striped bass fishing (#1) and duck hunting (#3) to notable locations such as the Robert Louis Stevenson Monument (#20) and Mount St. Helena (#24). Other attractions include famous mud baths, the Veterans' Home, and historic wineries, underscoring the region's diverse appeal. These are carefully marked on the map for easy identification.
Insets on the right side depict Bank of America branches in Napa, St. Helena, and Calistoga, blending practical information with advertising.
