1959 Map of Redwood Point

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

Industrial salt production and maritime infrastructure define this coastal landscape of the San Francisco Bay, where vast Salt Evaporators dominate the marshy terrain between Foster City and San Carlos. The intricate hydrology of the area is visible through the winding channels of Steinberger Slough, Corkscrew Slough, and Redwood Slough that carve through Bair Island. The Port of Redwood City stands as a focal point of commerce at the mouth of Redwood Creek, supported by the Southern Pacific rail line and a series of specialized communication sites like the Press Wireless Radio Sta and Radio Sta KNBC. This 1959 survey, updated through 1973, captures a period of significant coastal modification, showing the transition from natural wetlands to managed tidal basins and urban expansion. The massive San Mateo Bridge and the Dumbarton Bridge frame the bay crossing, illustrating the era's growing regional connectivity.
