1978 Map of Antioch North

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Industrial expansion and river commerce define this 1978 look at the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, where the Pittsburg and Antioch waterfronts meet the marshy islands of Suisun Bay. The landscape is a study in contrasts: the rolling Montezuma Hills to the north overlook a complex network of waterways, including the Deep Water Ship Channel and Broad Slough. Heavy industry is evident in the sprawling Steel Mill and various industrial waste ponds near Los Medanos, while the vast Sherman Island Waterfowl Management Area preserves the ecological character of the wetlands. Transportation hubs are well-defined, showing the paths of the Southern Pacific and Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe RR as they service the growing residential and educational centers like Los Medanos College and the various schools in the city of Antioch.
