About this map

The Tri-Valley area of the East Bay undergoes significant suburban transformation as shown in this 1961 document, photorevised with 1980 updates. Residential expansion is most evident in San Ramon Village and Komandorski Village, which sit adjacent to the extensive military infrastructure of Camp Parks and the Air Force Communication Annex. The landscape is a mix of rapid development and longstanding agricultural roots, with the Alameda County Fairgrounds and the USDA Plant Materials Center marking the valley floor near Pleasanton.

Natural topography is defined by the steep rises of Sunol Ridge and Walpert Ridge, which hem in the drainage basins of Arroyo de la Laguna and Arroyo del Valle. Local history is preserved at the Alviso Adobe and scattered rural school sites like Murray Sch and Fallon Sch. The presence of the Santa Rita Rehabilitation Center and the Federal Youth Center highlights the significant institutional land use in the region during the mid-20th century.
