1961 Map of Livermore

About this map

Livermore and Pleasanton serve as the primary hubs in this early 1960s study of the Amador Valley. The landscape is defined by its transition from a ranching and agricultural region to an urbanizing valley, with extensive Gravel Pits concentrated near East Pleasanton. The infrastructure of the era is evident through the presence of institutions like the Santa Rita Rehabilitation Center Annex and the Livermore Sanitarium, alongside numerous local schools including Inman Sch and Alisal Sch. The transportation network is anchored by the Southern Pacific and Western Pacific railroads, which parallel major thoroughfares like Stanley Blvd. Waterways such as Arroyo Mocho and Arroyo Valle weave through the valley floor, while the Valle de San Jose and the U S Government Reservation mark the surrounding terrain.
