1959 Map of Redwood Point

About this map

Salt evaporators and tidal marshlands dominate this mid-century shoreline, illustrating the industrial and natural transition of the South Bay. The map documents the early expansion of Foster City on Brewer Island and the operations at the Port of Redwood City, where Redwood Creek meets the bay. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of waterways, including Steinberger Slough and Corkscrew Slough, which wind around Bair Island and Greco Island.
