2012 Map of Redwood Point

About this map

Redwood Shores and the complex industrial and tidal landscape of the South Bay define this 2012 survey. The area's character is shaped by the transition from suburban residential development to the maritime activity of the Port of Redwood City, all set against a backdrop of extensive marshlands. Large landmasses like Bair Island and Greco Island dominate the central portion of the map, separated by a network of winding waterways including Steinberger Slough and Westpoint Slough. To the north, the San Mateo Bridge spans the water, connecting the peninsula to the eastern shore near Alameda Cr. This geography highlights the intricate balance between modern infrastructure and the natural sloughs that drain into the Pacific Ocean, providing a detailed look at the bay's edge before further 21st-century changes.
