1993 Map of Redwood Point

About this map

San Francisco Bay dominates this 1993 study of the south bay's industrial and natural shoreline. The landscape is defined by the complex interface of land and water, featuring extensive salt evaporators and tidal marshlands surrounding Bair Island and Greco Island. The Port of Redwood City serves as a critical maritime hub, with the deep-water channels of Redwood Creek and Westpoint Slough providing access for shipping. Rapid late-century development is visible in the structured residential grids of Foster City and Redwood City, contrasted against the remnants of the salt industry that historically shaped these shores. Major infrastructure like the San Mateo Bridge (Toll) and the Dumbarton Bridge frame the transit corridors connecting the peninsula to Alameda County across the expansive mud flats of the bay floor.
