1959 Map of San Quentin

About this map

San Pablo Strait serves as the central artery of this coastal landscape, connecting San Francisco Bay to San Pablo Bay during a period of significant infrastructure development. The Richmond - San Rafael Bridge spans the water, anchoring the industrial coastline of Pt Richmond to the Marin County shore near San Quentin State Prison. This era's maritime and defense footprint is prominent, marked by the Naval Fuel Supply Depot at Pt Molate and the Tiburon Naval Net Depot on the southern tip of the Tiburon Peninsula. On the Marin side, the hills of the Mount Tamalpais Game Refuge overlook emerging residential areas like Paradise Cay and the historic incorporated enclave of Belvedere. Rail lines including the Atchison Topeka & Santa Fe and the Northwestern Pacific trace the shorelines, supporting a landscape where heavy industry and private recreation, such as the Peacock Gap Golf & Country Club, coexist.
