1953 Map of Honker Bay

About this map

Pittsburg and its industrial waterfront anchor this mid-century look at the eastern reaches of the San Francisco Bay Estuary. The map documents the dense infrastructure of the Suisun Bay shoreline, where the Sacramento Northern and Southern Pacific railroads parallel the Pacific Northern Highway. Settlement patterns are clearly defined, from the urban center of Pittsburg to the outlying residential developments of Shore Acres and West Pittsburg.
