1908 Map of Antioch

About this map

Antioch and Pittsburg anchor the southern reaches of this survey, where the confluence of the Sacramento River and San Joaquin River creates a complex network of marshes and waterways. The landscape is defined by the contrast between the industrializing riverfronts and the high ground of the Montezuma Hills and Potrero Hills. This early century environment relied heavily on waterborne commerce, evidenced by numerous historical docks including Meins Landing, Duttons Landing, and Yolo Landing scattered along the Montezuma Slough.
