1959 Map of Briones Valley

USGS Topo · Published 1960

About this map

San Pablo Reservoir and the surrounding ridgelines dominate this late-1950s survey of the East Bay interior. The landscape reflects a period of significant suburban expansion and water infrastructure development, marked by the presence of the Mokelumne Aqueduct and the growth of Orinda Village and Lafayette. The survey details the complex topography of the Briones Hills and Sobrante Ridge, where small rural settlements like Castro and Abrott remain distinct from the emerging residential clusters.
