1908 Map of Antioch

About this map

Black Diamond and Cornwall stand as industrial hubs along the southern riverfront in this 1908 topographical study. The map illustrates a complex delta landscape where the Sacramento River and San Joaquin River converge, creating a maze of islands like Sherman Island and Grizzly Island. Settlement patterns are defined by the water, with numerous landings such as Birds Landing, Yolo Landing, and Duttons Landing serving as critical transit points for the agricultural Montezuma Hills.
