About this map

Dense urban blocks and developing infrastructure characterize the Alameda and San Francisco shorelines in this mid-1890s survey. The landscape is defined by its deep maritime and military connections, with the Presidio Military Reservation and Fort Mason guarding the south side of the Golden Gate. Across the bay, the massive rail infrastructure of the Oakland Mole extends into the water, serving as a primary transit hub for the Southern Pacific R. R. and the S. P. R. R. Livermore Line.
