2015 Map of Redwood Point

About this map

San Francisco Bay dominates this map, serving as the central divide between the Peninsula and the East Bay shoreline. The landscape is defined by the intricate transition from deep water to the complex marshlands and sloughs that characterize the South Bay. On the western shore, the planned community of Redwood Shores sits north of Redwood City, featuring a modern network of residential streets such as Mindanao Dr and Mediterranean Dr built around artificial lagoons. Extensive natural features remain preserved in the bay, including the sprawling Greco Island and Bair Island, which are separated by Smith Slough. To the east, the shoreline of Hayward is accessed by the San Mateo Bridge, while the Dumbarton Bridge anchors the southern reaches of the frame. This survey highlights the mid-2010s balance between Silicon Valley's urban expansion and the tidal habitats that line its waterfront.
