Baltz was included in the seminal 1975 exhibition "New Topographics: Photographs of a Man-Altered Landscape" at the George Eastman House in Rochester, New York. Artists featured in the show examined the drastic transformations that industrialization and suburbanization had wrought on the environment. Baltz’s 1985 portfolio, San Quentin Point, focused on the detritus spread around the as-yet-undeveloped terrain of Marin County in San Francisco
