File:California highways; a descriptive record of road development by the state and by such counties as have paved highways (1920) (14781272472).jpg

English:
The road problems of Napa County are comparatively simple, the building of an eighteen-foot-wide concrete road up through the center of the Napa Valley from Napa to Calistoga are being taken care of under a bond issue, the extension shown from Calistoga to the Sonoma County line to be built out of current funds or money raised by direct tax. A paved road provided for by the Sonoma County bond issue will supply an all-paved connection between Calistoga and Healdsburg. In so far as the State Highway is concerned Napa County, while having little mileage, is fortunate in being connected with both Coast and Valley trunk lines.
