Fantastic picture! Thanks to Ron Stewart for sharing this aerial photo of the Crossings with us. It was taken in the mid-70s.
If you look close, you can see Ygnacio Valley Road on the right hand side, and Cowell Road at the bottom. The smokestack is there, too!

Great picture! 🙂
This is a great picture! It is making me realize that I have never seen a picture of the concrete plant (?) That was here before the neighborhood. Or any pictures of Cowell.
Thank you for this.
I’ve always loved that picture, and if I look carefully, I can see the lot where my house would eventually be built.
I’ve got another aerial picture of the Crossings that was taken just before the smokestack was removed: https://cowellian.wordpress.com/cowell/smokestack-saga/#jp-carousel-1616
Great pic. Use to play in the stack as a kid. Walking to Cowell town to play with friends. Cowell town had wooden sidewalks and a wall paper manufacturing plant that would give us kids samples of floral wall paper. Played in the fields that is now the crossings. Concord and the people were great back then.
I always remember the public pool that was in a park off of cowell road. Maybe that is long gone now, but fun times back in the 1970s.
