1954 Map of Novato

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

Novato and its surrounding valleys are captured here during a period of significant mid-century growth in Marin County. The landscape is defined by the Northwestern Pacific railroad corridor and the Redwood Highway, which together shaped the development of communities like Ignacio, Black Point, and Santa Venetia. Purple overlays on this map highlight the rapid suburban expansion into areas like Novato Heights and Rafael Village that occurred by the late 1970s.
