2021 Map of Byron Hot Springs

About this map

Byron Hot Springs sits at the transition between the rising slopes of the Diablo Range and the western edge of the San Joaquin Valley. This landscape is defined by the sharp contrast between the rugged terrain of Brushy Peak and the flat expanses of the Central Valley. The map highlights a network of watercourses, including Marsh Cr and Kellogg Cr, which have historically shaped the drainage of these foothills. Contemporary land use is evident in the presence of the Byron Airport and an extensive system of recreational paths like the Brushy Peak Loop Trl and Tamcan Trl, illustrating the area's evolution from a thermal spring destination to a modern regional hub for outdoor activity. Significant roadways such as Vasco Rd and Camino Diablo Rd navigate the complex topography, connecting the isolated hills of eastern Contra Costa County to the broader agricultural valley floor.
