1953 Map of Antioch South

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

The industrial and ranching legacy of eastern Contra Costa County is evident in this mid-century survey, which documents the transition of the northern foothills of Mount Diablo. The map identifies several significant former mining settlements, including Somersville, Stewartville, and West Hartley, alongside remnants of their operations such as Coal Mine Tunnels. The northern edge shows the expansion of Antioch south of the Southern Pacific tracks, while the interior valleys remain largely agricultural. Key infrastructure of the era, such as the Mokelumne River Canal, Siphon systems, and the Antioch Airport, underscores the region's development. Local social history is grounded in labels for the County Jail Farm, Sunshine Camp, and the Morgan Territory Sch, reflecting a landscape of isolated rural outposts and early recreation spots like Marsh Creek Springs.
