1899 Map of Haywards

USGS Topo · Published 1901

About this map

Lake Chabot and the surrounding canyons of the Berkeley Hills dominate the eastern landscape of this late nineteenth-century survey. The East Bay shoreline is defined by extensive salt marshes and industry, anchored by the Union City Salt Works and Crystal Salt Works. This era predates the heavy industrialization of the twentieth century, showing a network of landings such as Mulford Landing, Roberts Landing, and Johnson Landing that served as vital maritime links for local agriculture. The interior reveals the early layout of settlements like Haywards, San Leandro, and Alvarado alongside the Southern Pacific R. R. routes. Large historical land grants including Potrerro de los Cerritos and Ex Mission San Jose still define the cadastral boundaries, reflecting the region's transition from Spanish-era ranchos to a developing rail-and-maritime economy.
