1953 Map of Clayton

About this map

The town of Clayton serves as the focal point for this mid-century look at the eastern slopes of the Diablo Range. To the north, the massive Concord Naval Weapons Station and the industrial activity near Pittsburg contrast with the rugged terrain of the Mt Diablo State Park to the south. The 1980 photorevision captures the expanding suburban footprint of Concord and Galindo, showing the growth of schools like Clayton Valley High Sch and Pine Hollow Intermediate Sch alongside established landmarks like the Contra Costa Canal.
