1953 Map of Antioch North

About this map

The Sacramento River and San Joaquin River converge in this mid-century survey, revealing the complex delta landscape of Northern California. Industrial activity is centered around the Steel Mill in Pittsburg, while the sprawling military installation of Camp Stoneman dominates the southwestern corner of the quadrangle. To the north, the elevation rises into the Montezuma Hills and Los Ulpinos, contrasting with the low-lying marshlands and island tracts like Sherman Island and Winter Island, which are protected by an extensive network of levees.
