1959 Map of Newark
USGS Topo · Published 1981About this map
The vast Salt Evaporators of southern Alameda County dominate the shoreline in this mid-century survey, illustrating the industrial-scale salt production that defined the San Francisco Bay's eastern edge. Inland, the rapid post-war urbanization of the East Bay is evident as the Nimitz Freeway cuts through emerging residential districts. The map documents a critical period of consolidation for local identities, showing Union City (Alvarado), Union City (Decoto), and Fremont (Centerville District) as their historic cores begin to merge into a continuous suburban landscape.
