2012 Map of Newark

About this map

Newark and Union City anchor this 2012 survey of the East Bay shoreline, where industrial infrastructure meets complex tidal marshlands. The landscape is defined by the winding paths of Alameda Creek and Newark Slough, alongside prominent geographic features like the Coyote Hills and Red Hill. Historic settlement patterns are visible through localized named areas such as Baumberg, Mattos, and Pabrico. This era of the South Bay is characterized by massive engineering projects like the Hetch Hetchy Aqueduct and the Dumbarton Bridge, which span the transition from urban development to the Pacific Ocean margin. Genealogists and local historians can trace specific landmarks like the Chapel of the Chimes Memorial Park and Holy Ghost Cem, while the names Jarvis Landing and Mowry Landing recall the area's maritime heritage.
