About this map

Industrial developments and maritime infrastructure define this mid-century survey of the Carquinez Strait, where the deep-water passage connects the San Pablo and Suisun bays. The landscape is a complex network of company towns and rail hubs, featuring the massive oil tanks at Oleum and the vital ferry and rail connections at Port Costa. To the north, the expanding residential districts of Vallejo and Benicia are mapped alongside institutional landmarks like the California Maritime Academy and the Benicia Airport.
