1997 Map of Newark
USGS Topo · Published 1999About this map
Salt evaporators and tidal sloughs dominate the edge of San Francisco Bay in this late-twentieth-century study of the East Bay. The landscape reveals the complex administrative layering of the region, where Union City (Alvarado) and Union City (Decoto) represent formerly distinct communities now integrated into a larger municipal fabric. Further south, the Fremont (Centerville District) and the city of Newark show dense suburban growth pushing toward the historic Patterson Ranch and the base of the Coyote Hills. The infrastructure of the era is clearly visible, from the Hetch Hetchy Aqueduct cutting across the salt ponds to the industrial corridors along the Southern Pacific tracks and Transit lines. The survival of names like Jarvis Landing and Mowry Landing preserves the memory of nineteenth-century maritime commerce along Newark Slough and Plummer Creek.
