2012 Map of San Mateo

About this map

San Mateo and its neighboring Peninsula communities appear in this early 21st-century study, showcasing a landscape defined by dense residential suburbs and sophisticated water management. The urbanized corridor stretches from Hillsborough Park down to San Carlos, bounded by the waters of the Pacific Ocean to the east and the massive Upper Crystal Springs Reservoir to the west. This era reveals the complex shoreline development of Foster City, where a network of artificial islands like Flying Cloud Isle and Shearwater Isle creates a distinctive nautical suburban pattern.
