A free GPS-triggered audio walk through a compact Bay Area company town shaped by hills, the Carquinez Strait, rail and bridge corridors, and the C&H Sugar refinery.
Crockett is best understood on foot. The town sits in a tight space where hillside neighborhoods, downtown storefronts, rail corridors, industrial waterfront, and the Carquinez Strait all press close together. That compressed geography is the story of the walk.
The route starts near the Crockett Museum and Pomona Street, then moves through everyday community landmarks before shifting toward the refinery landscape and the bridge views that explain Crockett's regional role. Along the way, the tour connects worker life, immigrant foodways, local commerce, and the infrastructure that made this small town visible across the Bay Area.
The main loop is mostly level and sidewalk-based. The Tankhouse Hill stop is an optional uphill extension for visitors who want a broader view of the town pattern from above.
