About this map

Oakland and its surrounding East Bay neighbors appear here in a densely populated urban landscape defined by maritime infrastructure and academic centers. The waterfront is a complex of transport corridors, from the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge and the Rapid Transit Trans-Bay Tube to the ferry routes like the Alameda-Oakland Fry crossing the San Francisco Bay. Inland, the map reveals the distinct neighborhood character of places like Chinatown, Rochedale Village, and South Berkeley, while the Univ of California at Berkeley anchors the northern portion of the sheet.

Institutional and residential patterns are well-documented, showing the proximity of the Campbell Village and Peralta Villa housing areas to the industrial Oakland Middle Harbor. Environmental features such as Lake Merritt and Glen Echo Cr provide clear landmarks amidst the grid. This survey also details the offshore geography of Treasure Island and Yerba Buena Island, illustrating their critical role in the trans-bay connection.
