1947 Map of Oakland East

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

Oakland and the surrounding East Bay hills reveal a post-war landscape of rapid residential expansion and significant institutional footprints. From the University of California in Berkeley to the Oak Knoll Naval Hospital further south, the map illustrates how civic and military infrastructure shaped the region's mid-century character. The transition from dense urban grids to the wooded heights of Redwood Regional Park and Joaquin Miller Park is sharply defined, highlighting the preserved greenbelts of the Laguna de los Palos Colorados.
