1897 Map of Tamalpais

USGS Topo · Published 1897

About this map

San Rafael and the surrounding Marin County hill country are captured in detail just before the turn of the century, showing a landscape defined by ranching, early rail expansion, and coastal navigation. The map illustrates the dominance of the North Pacific Coast R. R. and the San Francisco and North Pacific R. R. as they navigate the ridges and canyons between San Anselmo and Sausalito. Along the western coast, the small settlement of Bolinas sits at the edge of Bolinas Lagoon, while inland villages like Woodville and Eastland are nestled within the folds of Mt. Tamalpais.
