1959 Map of Walnut Creek
USGS Topo · Published 1974About this map
Buchanan Field and the surrounding valley floor document a mid-century period of suburban expansion across the East Bay. This 1959 survey, updated through 1973, reveals the rapid infill between Concord, Pleasant Hill, and Walnut Creek, where residential tracts began to press against the historical boundaries of the Briones Hills and Shell Ridge. The vital role of water management is evident in the path of the Contra Costa Canal and the presence of the Filtration Plant near Bancroft.
