1959 Map of San Quentin

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

The San Rafael - Richmond Bridge spans the narrowest reach between Marin and Contra Costa counties, connecting the industrial waterfront of Richmond with the historic grounds of the San Quentin State Prison. This mid-century landscape is defined by its maritime and rail infrastructure, from the heavy rail lines of the Atchison Topeka & Santa Fe at Pt Richmond to the extensive Long Wharf and Naval Fuel Supply Depot near Pt Molate. Along the Tiburon Peninsula, the map reveals the growth of residential enclaves like Paradise Cay and Hilarita, while the southern tip shows the established waterfront of Belvedere and Tiburon fronting the Raccoon Strait. Notable local landmarks include the Peacock Gap Golf & Country Club and several neighborhood schools such as Marin Country Day School and Reed School, marking the era's suburban development.
