1898 Map of Mt. Diablo

USGS Topo · Published 1912

About this map

Mt. Diablo dominates this late-nineteenth-century landscape, serving as the anchor for the region's topography and the literal intersection of the Base Line and Meridian. The map reveals a transition between the mining-heavy canyons to the north and the agricultural valleys to the west and south. Notable coal mining operations are evidenced by the Star Mine and the cluster of settlements including Nortonville, Somersville, and Stewartville, which were served by specialized rail lines like the Pittsburg R. R. and Empire R. R.
