2012 Map of Altamont

About this map

Sandia National Laboratories anchors the central valley floor of this 2012 survey, marking a significant landscape of scientific research south of Ulmar. This region in Alameda County is defined by its transition from the dense residential developments of Trevarno and the Springtown district into the steep, rolling hills of the Altamont Pass. The map highlights a specialized agricultural economy, particularly the concentration of viticulture including Wente Brothers Winery, Concannon Winery, and Cedar Mountain Winery. Infrastructure such as the Meadowlark Field Airport and the complex network of roads like Altamont Pass Rd and N Vasco Rd illustrate the area's role as a vital transportation and energy corridor. Small water features like Frick Lake and Patterson Reservoir dot the arid terrain, while drainage systems including Arroyo Seco and Arroyo Mocho trace the natural topography of the eastern Livermore Valley.
