1942 Map of Altamont

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

Altamont and Midway serve as the primary rail-oriented settlements in this eastern reach of the Livermore Valley, where the Southern Pacific and Pacific rail lines navigate the challenging geography of Patterson Pass. Surveyed during the early 1940s, the map reveals a landscape defined by cattle ranching and early transportation corridors, featuring family-held lands such as Mendenhall Ranch and the Pointers Homestead. The terrain rises sharply from the valley floor into the steep peaks of Crane Ridge and Cedar Mountain Ridge, reaching a high point at Cedar Mtn. Educational hubs for the rural community are documented at the Green School and Townsend School. Notable landmarks like the Lookout and various Mines suggest a mix of fire observation and resource extraction in the hills above Corral Hollow.
