The title of the first chapter of Peter Vogel’s 2001 magisterial classic, The Last Wave from Port Chicago, is the latitude and longitude pair of the location of the Port Chicago explosion in 1944:

In 1968, all property was bought and buildings demolished by the federal government to form a safety zone around the adjacent Concord Naval Weapons Station loading docks.

The Port Chicago Highway, a route from the city of Concord through the site of the former town, still exists in Contra Costa County.

The land is currently used for testing of autonomous vehicles.
