1953 Map of Byron Hot Springs

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

Byron Hot Springs sits at the base of rising terrain in eastern Contra Costa County, anchoring a landscape where agricultural flats meet the prominent ridges of Canada De Los Vaqueros. During the mid-twentieth century, the area served as a crossroads for transit and utility infrastructure, with the Southern Pacific railroad line and a major Pipe Line corridor cutting through the northern reaches near the town of Byron. The map documents a rugged interior of canyons and peaks, including the high point at Brushy Peak, which straddles the Contra Costa Co Alameda Co line. Water management is a central theme, evidenced by the Canal system, various Springs, and the drainage of Kellogg Creek. Significant industrial markers like an Oil Pumping Station and scattered prospects suggest the region's historical ties to petroleum and mineral extraction amidst the cattle-grazing land of Los Meganos.
