1940 Map of Carquinez Strait

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

The confluence of the Sacramento and San Joaquin river systems is dominated here by the deep-water passage of the Carquinez Strait and the marshlands of Suisun Bay. Industrial and maritime hubs like Vallejo, Benicia, and Martinez anchor the shorelines, connected by the Toll Bridge Carquinez Bridge and a network of Southern Pacific rail lines. The landscape transitions sharply from the rugged heights of Sulphur Springs Mountain to the intricate tidal sloughs surrounding Joice Island and Grizzly Island.
