1953 Map of Antioch North

USGS Topo · Published 1960

About this map

Montezuma Hills rise to the north, overlooking the complex confluence where the Sacramento River and San Joaquin River meet at the head of Suisun Bay. This early 1950s survey documents a landscape defined by its tidal marshes and islands, such as Kimball Island and Chain Island, and the critical industrial waterfronts of Pittsburg and Antioch. The map captures the industrial character of the era, showing a prominent Steel Mill in Pittsburg and the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad corridor. While the southern shore is heavily developed with settlements like Los Medanos and schools like the John Muir School, the northern shore in Solano County remains sparsely populated, anchored by the river landings at Collinsville and Toland Landing. The detailed mapping of the Mayberry Slough Levee system illustrates the ongoing efforts to reclaim and protect these delta lowlands for agriculture and industry.
