1899 Map of Haywards

USGS Topo · Published 1913

About this map

San Francisco Bay’s eastern shore is defined here by an intricate network of sloughs and landings that supported the region's early maritime economy. At the turn of the century, this landscape was dominated by industrial salt production, evidenced by the Union City Salt Works and Crystal Salt Works located near the tidal marshes. The topography transitions sharply from the coastal flats of San Lorenzo and Arroyo de la Alameda into the steep ridges of the San Lorenzo land grant. Significant development is visible along the Southern Pacific R. R. lines, which connected established hubs like San Leandro and Haywards to specialized waterfront outposts such as Roberts Landing and Jarvis Landing. This era shows the East Bay as a series of distinct agricultural and industrial settlements before the mid-century urban expansion joined them into a continuous metropolitan corridor.
