1953 Map of Altamont

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

Livermore Valley serves as a critical transportation corridor during the early 1950s, defined by the heavy rail lines of the Southern Pacific and Western Pacific as they navigate the elevations of Altamont Pass. The landscape is a mix of agricultural utility and early infrastructure, featuring the Abandoned Airfield situated near Greenville Road. Water management and natural drainages like Arroyo Mocho and Arroyo Seco carve through the foothills of Crane Ridge, illustrating the complex topography that early California engineers like A. D. Edmonston sought to manage. The presence of rural institutions such as Summit Sch and Green Dist School highlights the small-scale community structure existing alongside major transit arteries and the settlement at Altamont.
