About this map

Suisun Bay and the surrounding marshlands of the Sacramento–San Joaquin River Delta define this industrial and maritime landscape at the mid-century. The map captures a critical period for Port Chicago and the neighboring Naval Reservation, showing the extensive network of the Southern Pacific and Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroads serving the waterfront. Significant industrial infrastructure is visible along the Carquinez Strait, including the Oil Refinery at Avon and multiple Oil Tanks situated near the Mokelumne Aqueduct.
