1959 Map of Oakland East

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

The Berkeley Hills provide a dramatic backdrop to the dense urban expansion of the East Bay during the late 1950s. This survey illustrates the intricate relationship between the developing residential corridors of Oakland and Berkeley and the protected ridgelines of Round Top Regional Park and Redwood Regional Park. Notable educational and institutional landmarks are prominent, including the sprawling grounds of the University of California, Mills College, and the Oak Knoll Naval Hospital. The map also captures the industrial and maritime character of the shoreline, featuring the Coast Guard Alameda Base and the complex rail network of the Southern Pacific and Western Southern Pacific. In the eastern valleys, the more suburban characters of Orinda and Moraga emerge, centered around features like the Upper San Leandro Reservoir and the Moraga Valley.
