About this map

Rosie The Riveter World War II Home Front National Historical Park anchors the industrial shoreline of the Inner Harbor Basin and Ford Channel, preserving the legacy of California’s wartime manufacturing. This highly developed coastal landscape transitions from the dense urban grids of Richmond, San Pablo, and Albany into the steep terrain of the San Pablo Ridge and Sobrante Ridge.

The map reveals an intricate network of transportation and open space, from the Union Pacific RR corridors and Richmond Pkwy to the extensive trail systems of the Wildcat Creek Trail and Nimitz Way Trail. Local history is visible in the placement of the Saint Joseph Cem and Sunset View Cem, while topographic landmarks like William Rust Summit and Brooks Island provide a sense of the area's natural relief against the sprawling residential developments of Rollingwood and Montalvin Manor.
