About this map

Camp Parks and the sprawling Military Reservation dominate the central landscape of this 1961 survey, which captures the East Bay's rapid transition from a ranching and rail corridor into a modern suburban hub. The map highlights significant institutional footprints, including the Federal Youth Center, the Air Force Communication Annex, and the Santa Rita Rehabilitation Center. Purple revision tinting illustrates the 1980s expansion of Dublin, San Ramon Village, and Pleasanton, as residential tracts began to climb toward the Dougherty Hills.

Lower elevations are defined by the winding paths of Arroyo Mocho and Arroyo del Valle, while the southern reaches showcase the Alameda County Fairgrounds. Notable local history markers like the Alviso Adobe and Dublin Cem remain visible amidst the growing network of Interstate 680 and U.S. Highway 50. The presence of the Southern Pacific and Western Pacific rail lines further underscores the region's historic role as a critical transportation junction.
