About this map

Industrial shoreline and tidal marshlands dominate this mid-century survey of the Contra Costa County waterfront. The massive Naval Reservation and Mt Diablo Naval Reservation occupy significant acreage alongside established towns like Martinez and the village of Port Chicago. The map captures a landscape defined by heavy industry and vital transport corridors, showing an extensive Oil Refinery at Mococo, the Monsanto plant, and the sprawling rail network of the Southern Pacific and Sacramento Northern.
