About this map

Camp Parks and the adjacent Military Reservation dominate the eastern valley floor of this 1961 survey, reflecting the era's significant defense footprint in the San Ramon Valley. To the north, Komandorski Village serves as a distinct housing landmark near the intersection of the Southern Pacific and the extensive regional road network. The landscape transitions sharply from the agricultural and military flats of Pleasanton and Dublin into the steep, canyon-cut ridges of the west.

Genealogists and local historians can trace the early mid-century character of the region through small educational and residential outposts like Murray Sch and the secluded Kilkare Woods. The map documents the natural hydrology of the area before extensive suburbanization, featuring Tehan Falls and the winding course of Arroyo de la Laguna. Industrial and civic infrastructure is also noted, from the Gravel Pits in the center of the valley to the Santa Rita Rehabilitation Center further east.
