Synopsis
Excerpt from California Notes, Vol. 1
These valleys are largest in the vicinity of the Bay of San Francisco and its tributaries. Here there is a break in the mountain chains. As the spurs from the north trend toward the bavs of Suisun, San Pablo, and San Francisco, they spread out like the fingers of a rocky hand. Between these giant digits lie some of the most picturesque valleys in the State. Among these may be mentioned Petaluma, Sonoma, Napa, Suisun and Vaca; while further north, where the fingers unite with the palm, Clear Lake, sur rounded by little valleys, reposes in the embrace of the mountains. South of the Bay of San Francisco, the two main ridges of the Coast mountains stand back from the bay, forming the fertile Santa Clara Valley. In Contra Costa County the Mount Diablo group is flanked on all sides by numerous productive valleys.
