1953 Map of Antioch South

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

Coal Mine Tunnels and ghost settlements mark the transition from industrial extraction to water management in the foothills of Contra Costa County. This mid-century survey, with later revisions, documents the traces of the Mount Diablo coal field, including the sites of Somersville, Stewartville, and West Hartley. The landscape is etched with historical infrastructure, from the Southern Pacific tracks in the north to the Mokelumne River Aqueduct and Contra Costa Canal cutting through the terrain. In the south, the Morgan Territory and the Mt Diablo Base Line provide critical landmarks for genealogists and surveyors alike. The presence of the Morgan Territory Sch (Aban'd) and Marsh Creek Springs speaks to the early rural communities that once flourished along the canyon floors of Oil Canyon and Irish Canyon.
