1947 Map of San Quentin

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

The State Penitentiary at San Quentin dominates the western shore of this mid-century survey, marking a stark contrast to the emerging residential and naval developments on the Tiburon Peninsula. Before the completion of the major bay bridges, transit between the East Bay and Marin County relied on routes like the Richmond-San Rafael Ferry and the Richmond-San Francisco Ferry, both of which are clearly delineated here.
