1959 Map of Benicia
USGS Topo · Published 1978About this map
Carquinez Strait serves as the focal point of this late 1950s survey, connecting the industrial waterfronts of Vallejo and Benicia. The map reveals a landscape defined by maritime and military utility, dominated by the sprawling Benicia Arsenal Military Reservation and significant shipping infrastructure like Nevada Dock and the California Maritime Academy. Regional transport is clearly delineated, showing the Southern Pacific and Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe rail lines hugging the coastlines, while the Carquinez Bridge provides a critical highway link between Solano and Contra Costa counties.
