About this map

Newark and the surrounding Tri-City area are defined by the meeting of East Bay industrial development and the natural marshlands of the San Francisco Bay. This 2015 survey reveals a landscape where modern infrastructure, like the Hetch Hetchy Aqueduct and Dumbarton Bridge, intersects with the remnants of earlier coastal industry at Jarvis Landing and Mowry Landing. The interior shows dense suburban growth within Union City and Fremont, yet older place names like Hall Station, Baumberg, and Pabrico persist as geographic markers of the area's history.

Local history is preserved in several significant sites, including the Chapel of the Chimes Cemetery and the Holy Ghost Cemetery. The western edge of the quadrangle is dominated by the Coyote Hills and a complex network of tidal channels including Newark Slough and Plummer Creek, illustrating the delicate balance between the expanding urban footprint and the preserved wetlands of the Coyote Hills Slough.
