1959 Map of Oakland East

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

The hills of Berkeley, Piedmont, and Oakland descend toward San Leandro Bay in this mid-century portrait of the East Bay. The landscape is defined by the sharp transition from the dense urban grid of the San Antonio district to the protected heights of Round Top Regional Park and Joaquin Miller Park. The 1959 data, with later 1980 revisions, reveals the corridor of the Warren Freeway and MacArthur Freeway cutting through the established neighborhoods. In the north, the Univ of California and the Calif School for Blind and Deaf stand as major institutional anchors. The eastern slopes show the more suburban character of Orinda and Moraga, centered around the Upper San Leandro Reservoir. Notable for genealogists are the sprawling grounds of Mountain View Cemetery and Home of Peace Cemetery, while the maritime presence of the Naval Supply Center reflects the area's strategic importance.
