1896 Map of Carquinez Strait

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

Suisun Bay and the complex tidal network of the Carquinez Strait dominate this late 19th-century landscape, where the confluence of the Sacramento and San Joaquin rivers meets the hills of the Coast Ranges. The industrial and maritime importance of the era is evident in the waterfront developments at Benicia, home to the sprawling U.S. Arsenal at Army Pt., and the neighboring rail-and-port hubs of Vallejo, South Vallejo, and Martinez. Along the southern shore, a string of company towns and shipping points like Crockett, Valona, and Port Chicago line the deepwater channel, supported by the Southern Pacific railroad.
