1953 Map of Honker Bay

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

Pittsburg and West Pittsburg anchor the southern shore of the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, where industrial activity and military infrastructure meet a complex network of marshland. The map reveals the critical role of transportation and water management in the mid-20th century, showing the Mokelumne Aqueduct and Contra Costa Canal cutting across the landscape. The industrial footprint is evident in the sprawling Naval Weapons Station Concord and local facilities like the Chemical Plant and nearby Quarry. To the north, a labyrinth of sloughs including Montezuma Slough and Roaring River Slough wind around islands like Wheeler Island and Hammond Island, many protected by levees. This 1953 survey, with later urban revisions, captures the transition of Shore Acres and the surrounding area as residential growth began to press against the historical rail lines of the Southern Pacific and Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe.
