About this map

Livermore Valley and the Amador Valley meet in this detailed topographic study, showing a region defined by its vital watercourses and early industrial footprint. The landscape is crisscrossed by the Arroyo Mocho, Arroyo Valle, and Arroyo Las Positas, which served as the natural anchors for the burgeoning towns of Livermore and Pleasanton. At this time, the area’s gravel industry was in full swing, evidenced by the extensive Gravel Pits concentrated near Santa Rita.

Transport and education networks are prominently mapped, from the Southern Pacific and Western Pacific rail lines to local school sites like Inman Sch and Amador Valley High Sch. The map also captures specialized facilities such as the Livermore Monitoring Station and the Santa Rita Rehabilitation Center Annex, reflecting the diverse civic and scientific infrastructure established in Alameda County by the early 1960s.
