USGS Topo · Published 1960

About this map

Valle de San Jose and the Sunol Valley anchor this mid-century look at Alameda County, where the landscape is defined by the sharp transition from ranching lands to technical infrastructure. The Hetch Hetchy Aqueduct and various pipelines cut through the terrain, illustrating the critical role this area played in regional water management. In the north, the US Veterans Administration and the Arroyo Del Valle Sanatorium sit near the waters of Arroyo del Valle, marking the area's history of healthcare and institutional land use.
