1959 Map of Redwood Point

About this map

San Francisco Bay dominates this late-1950s coastal survey, revealing a landscape defined by industrial salt production and early maritime infrastructure. Extensive Salt Evaporators and protective Levees line the shores of Bair Island and Greco Island, illustrating the scale of the regional salt harvesting industry. The southern reach of the bay is bisected by the San Mateo Bridge (Toll), while the Port of Redwood City and Yacht Harbor indicate the area's significance as a deep-water shipping and recreational hub.
