About this map

The Sacramento River and San Joaquin River converge in this mid-century survey, defining a complex landscape of islands and tidal sloughs. Industrial activity is centered in Pittsburg, where a Steel Mill stands near the shoreline of New York Slough. Further east, the expanding footprint of Antioch is documented with municipal and educational landmarks including City Hall, the John Muir School, and Jr High School.

Across the water in Solano County, the small settlement of Collinsville sits behind a levee system on Montezuma I. The terrain north of the river transitions into the Montezuma Hills and the slopes of Los Ulpinos, marked by isolated points like Toland Landing. This era shows the heavy reliance on rail transport, with the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe and Southern Pacific lines serving the industrial waterfronts.
