1961 Map of Livermore

About this map

Livermore and Pleasanton serve as the primary hubs in this early 1960s study of eastern Alameda County. The landscape is a mix of rapidly expanding suburban districts and significant institutional holdings. Large-scale installations such as Camp Parks, the Military Reservation, and the Vallecitos Atomic Laboratory occupy substantial acreage between the rolling ridges. To the west, the integration of Fremont is visible through its constituent parts, including the Niles District, Centerville Dist, and the Mission San Jose District, where St Mary of the Palms stands. The era's transportation infrastructure is well-defined, featuring the Nimitz Freeway and a dense network of Southern Pacific and Western Pacific rail lines. Notable local landmarks like the Santa Rita Rehabilitation Center and Castlewood Country Club provide clear reference points for the mid-century development of the Amador and Livermore Valleys.
