About this map

Carquinez Strait serves as the dominant corridor of this 1952 study, connecting the industrial waterfronts of Vallejo and Benicia with the refining and rail hubs to the south. The map documents a period of significant post-war infrastructure, featuring the Carquinez Bridge and the extensive industrial activity at Oleum, Selby, and Port Costa. The presence of the California Maritime Academy near Morrow Cove and the sprawling Military Reservation east of Benicia highlights the area's strategic maritime and defense importance.
