1899 Map of Palo Alto

USGS Topo · Published 1920

About this map

The southern reach of San Francisco Bay dominates the northern landscape of this survey, where tidal sloughs and landings like Cooley Landing and Guth Landing meet the developing rail corridors of the late nineteenth century. The Southern Pacific RR serves a string of growing communities including Redwood, Menlo Park, and the recently established Palo Alto, while the grounds of Stanford University are clearly delineated near San Francisquito Creek.
