1959 Map of Oakland East

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

The University of California campus and the industrial waterfront of Alameda anchor this mid-century survey of the East Bay. The urban density of Oakland, Berkeley, and Piedmont is contrasted by the preserved open spaces of Redwood Regional Park and Joaquin Miller Park. Extensive cemetery complexes, including Mountain View Cemetery and St Marys Cem, occupy significant acreage between the residential neighborhoods and the ridge. Transportation corridors like the Nimitz Freeway and the Southern Pacific tracks line the Tidal Canal and San Leandro Bay, reflecting the era's maritime and rail-based economy near the Naval Reserve Shipyard. To the east, the map reveals the transition into the hills and valleys of Orinda and Moraga, characterized by reservoirs and country clubs.
