2015 Map of Vine Hill

About this map

Vine Hill and Mountain View anchor the southern reach of this coastal landscape, where the northern foothills of the Diablo Range meet the complex wetlands of Suisun Bay. The terrain is defined by a dense network of industrial and transport corridors, including the Southern Pacific Bridge crossing the Bulls Head Channel and the convergence of the Mokelumne Aqueduct and Contra Costa Canal. This 2015 data illustrates the intensive management of water and transit in the East Bay, showing the proximity of residential areas like Bahia and Clyde to large-scale infrastructure like the Mallard Reservoir and Monsanto facility. In the marshes, Morrow Island and Roe Island sit among a labyrinth of tidal passages such as Goodyear Slough and Hastings Slough, marking the transition between the developed uplands and the brackish waters of the Pacific Ocean inlet.
