About this map

San Quentin State Prison and the newly completed Richmond - San Rafael Bridge dominate the central waters of the San Pablo Strait, connecting the Marin coastline to the industrial hubs of the East Bay. This survey reflects a significant era of maritime and military activity, with the Naval Fuel Supply Depot at Pt Molate and the Tiburon Naval Net Depot near Bluff Pt highlighting the region's strategic importance. Along the Tiburon Peninsula, residential growth is evident in the development of Hilarita and Belvedere, supported by local institutions like the Bel Aire School and Reed Sch.
