About this map

The confluence of the Sacramento River and San Joaquin River dominates this landscape, where the waters of the Central Valley meet at the head of Suisun Bay. The terrain transitions from the elevated Montezuma Hills in the north down to a complex network of islands and sloughs, including Sherman Island and Browns Island. This maritime environment is heavily shaped by modern navigation, featuring the Sacramento River Deep Water Ship Channel and the Stockton Deep Water Channel, which facilitate industrial access to the interior.

Along the southern shore, the urban developments of Antioch and Pittsburg show a densifying corridor linked by the Pittsburg-Antioch Hwy. Local history is anchored by several sites, including the campus of Los Medanos College and regional landmarks like Oak View Memorial Park. To the west, the village of Collinsville sits near the entrance to Montezuma Slough, maintaining its position at the edge of the marshes while the Mokelumne Aqueduct cuts through the landscape to the south.
