The industrial and maritime corridors of Contra Costa County define this landscape at the junction of Suisun Bay and the Carquinez Strait. Heavy industry is a central theme, evidenced by the sprawling Oil Refinery near Avon and the Monsanto facility, alongside extensive rail networks including the Southern Pacific and the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe. The map illustrates the strategic military presence of the Naval Weapons Station Concord, which occupies a significant portion of the eastern marshlands and waterfront.
