About this map

San Pablo Strait serves as the central focal point of this coastal survey, dividing the waterfront communities of Marin and Contra Costa counties. On the western shore, the Tiburon Peninsula and Belvedere showcase the complex coastline of San Francisco Bay, where deep inlets like Richardson Bay and Paradise Cove define the residential and recreational character of the land. The presence of Marin Islands National Wildlife Refuge and portions of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area near Bluff Point highlights a landscape dedicated to conservation and public space amidst the bay's busy maritime channels.

Industrial and maritime infrastructure is concentrated on the eastern side near Richmond, where the Standard Oil Pier and Richmond Harbor Entrance Channel reach into the water. Historical landmarks such as Point San Quentin and Blackie's Pasture provide local-history touchpoints. The map captures the significant transit corridors linking these shores, including the span across the water toward Castro Point, illustrating how the region's geography and transportation networks are inextricably linked to its waterfront.
