1961 Map of Niles

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

The Irvington District and Mission San Jose District serve as anchors in this detailed 1961 record of the East Bay, documenting a period of rapid suburban transition in Fremont. The landscape is a complex intersection of early California history and modern infrastructure, where the Ohlone Cemetery and St Josephs Ch stand near newer developments like Ohlone College and the Fremont Raceway. Major utility corridors, including the Hetch Hetchy Aqueduct and the Southern Pacific and Western Pacific railroads, cut through the foothills of Mission Ridge. To the east, the Sunol Valley remains relatively open, marked by the distinctive Water Temple and the winding course of Alameda Creek through Niles Canyon. The map captures the city just as the Nimitz Freeway and expanding urban boundaries began to reshape the old agricultural districts of Shinn and Eberly.
