1949 Map of Richmond
USGS Topo · Published 1949About this map
Industrial infrastructure and residential expansion define the post-war East Bay shoreline, where the massive Oil Tank Farm in San Pablo sits just north of the dense grids of Richmond. The landscape transitions from the working waterfront at the Richmond Inner Harbor and Santa Fe Channel to the residential heights of El Cerrito and the wooded canyons of the Berkeley Hills. This era showcases a fully integrated transportation network, with the Southern Pacific and Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroads flanking the burgeoning San Pablo Ave corridor.
