About this map

The Marin Peninsula serves as a dramatic centerpiece in this late 19th-century survey, revealing a landscape defined by deep valleys and the coastal influence of the Pacific Ocean. Early settlements like Bolinas and Woodville are established along the Bolinas Lagoon, while the eastern side of the peninsula shows the growing rail-connected hubs of San Rafael and Mill Valley. The map documents the transition from Spanish land grants, such as San Geronimo and Corte de Madera, to modern civic designations.
