About this map

Montclair and the Dimond District sit at the heart of this East Bay landscape, where urban density meets the steep transitions of the Berkeley Hills. The map traces the intricate street networks of neighborhoods like Rockridge, Crocker Highlands, and Maxwell Park, while highlighting the large institutional footprints of Mills College and Holy Names University. Infrastructure is a defining element, from the subterranean paths of the Caldecott Tunnels and Rapid Transit Tunnel to the elevated spans of the Leimert Bridge.

Along the western edge, the industrial and maritime character of the Tidal Canal and Oakland Inner Harbor contrasts with the massive green spaces of Mountain View Cem and Saint Marys Cem. To the east, the terrain opens into the protected waters of the Upper San Leandro Reservoir and the wooded reaches of Redwood Canyon. This survey captures the complex intersection of early 20th-century residential expansion and the preserved wildlands of Redwood Peak.
