1961 Map of Dublin

Transit networks define the valley floor, where the Southern Pacific and Western Pacific railroads cross near older landmarks like the Alviso Adobe and Dougherty. Cultural sites of the era, such as the Drive-in Theater and various schools like Murray Sch and Lydiksen Sch, are documented before the arrival of the modern interstate system. To the west and south, the steep terrain of Sunol Ridge and Pleasanton Ridge remains largely undeveloped, cut by deep features like Dublin Canyon and Stonybrook Canyon.
