1959 Map of Redwood Point

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

Salt evaporators dominate the marshy landscape of the southern San Francisco Bay in this mid-century survey, illustrating an era when industrial salt production defined the shoreline. The map captures the early footprint of Foster City on Brewer Island and the expanding industrial activity at the Port of Redwood City. A complex network of tidal channels, including Steinberger Slough, Corkscrew Slough, and Redwood Creek, meanders through Bair Island and Greco Island, highlighting the intricate hydrology of the South Bay before extensive modern development. Notable communication infrastructure is evident with several broadcasting facilities like Radio Sta KNBC and the Press Wireless Radio Sta situated along the mudflats. The presence of the Southern Pacific railroad and the San Mateo Bridge underscores the region's role as a critical transportation corridor linking the Peninsula to the East Bay.
