1953 Map of Antioch South

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

Coal Mine Tunnels and historical mining sites anchor this landscape south of the growing city, revealing the industrial roots of Contra Costa County. Significant former settlements are mapped as sites, including Somersville, Stewartville, and West Hartley, which once served the region's extraction economy. The terrain transitions from the developed northern corridor along the Southern Pacific tracks to the deep valleys and ridges of the south. Critical water infrastructure, notably the Mokelumne River Aqueduct and Contra Costa Canal, cuts across the hills to supply the thirsty San Francisco Bay area. To the south, the map preserves the rural character of Morgan Territory, showing the Morgan Territory Sch (Site) and the sprawling County Jail Farm along the banks of Marsh Creek. Local transit and land use are defined by historic routes like Empire Mine Road and the recreation areas at Contra Loma Regional Park.
