1918 Map of Honker Bay

USGS Topo · Published 1918

About this map

Industrial development and maritime commerce converge at the junction of Suisun Bay and the Sacramento River on this 1918 sheet. The southern shore is anchored by Pittsburg, where the Pittsburg Sta serves as a vital rail node for the Southern Pacific and the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe lines. The landscape transitions from the developed waterfront at West Pittsburg and Nichols to the complex delta marshlands of Grizzly Island and Hammond Island. To the north, the isolated settlement of Birds Landing and various steamboat docks like Yolo Landing and Duttons Landing reflect the era’s reliance on waterborne transport through Monte Zuma Slough. The Mt Diablo Meridian bisects the bay, marking a critical surveying line through Chipps Island and the shallow waters of Honker Bay.
