About this map

Industrial waterfronts and heavy rail networks dominate the East Bay shoreline just after World War II, as seen in this 1949 topographic record. The massive transit infrastructure of the Oakland Mole and the Pacific Overseas Depot highlights the region's importance as a Pacific shipping hub. To the west, the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge connects the mainland to Treasure Island and Yerba Buena Island, where extensive naval and military reservations are clearly delineated.
