About this map

The northern edge of the Diablo Range meets the expansive marshlands and tidal reaches of the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta on this 2018 survey. The landscape is defined by the complex waterways of Honker Bay and Suisun Bay, where islands like Wheeler Island, Hammond Island, and Simmons Island create a labyrinth of sloughs and cutoffs. Along the southern shore, the industrial and residential growth of Pittsburg and Bay Point is clearly visible, situated between the waterfront and the rising hills of the San Joaquin Valley.

Critical infrastructure supporting the region's development is prominently featured, including the Mokelumne Aqueduct and the Contra Costa Canal. Smaller, more specialized settlements like Nichols and McAvoy sit near the water's edge, while inland areas show the residential expansion of Concord. In the north, the more rural character of Solano Co is marked by the winding Montezuma Slough and isolated locales such as Molena and Dutton.
