San Quentin California Richmond Tiburon USGS Topo Map 1980

$72

This USGS 7.5-minute topographic map is a 1959 edition with photorevisions through 1980, printed in 1980 on thick stock and in very good condition, with a single midsheet horizontal foldline and a pencilled title on the back. Straddling San Francisco Bay in Contra Costa and Marin counties, the quad area takes in Richmond and San Rafael along with Corte Madera, Tiburon, Belvedere, Strawberry, Santa Venetia, and the community of San Quentin. The bay-shore geography here shows the waterfront points and inlets around the Richmond–San Rafael crossing, with the town of San Quentin lending the sheet its name.

FEATURES SHOWN ON THE MAP
The San Quentin 7.5-minute map shows cities and towns, roads, paths, railroads, utilities and energy infrastructure, rivers, creeks, elevation contour lines, public land survey lines, county, state, and other administrative boundaries as they existed at the time of the survey. A reddish tint may be used on this sheet to indicate urban areas where only landmark buildings will be shown. Outside of those areas, all known structures (houses, businesses churches, schools, barns, cabins, etc) are shown.

A VALUABLE HISTORICAL RECORD
This map is from the 7.5-minute series, the most detailed series that is widely available from the USGS. The 1959 San Quentin map is a valuable historical record for the area. It contains some placenames and features that have been dropped from more recent maps.

The map was photorevised in 1980. Any features that changed or were added between the original edition year of 1959 and the photorevision year of 1980 are overlayed in purple. The purple overlay provides an excellent view of the fast-growing and changing areas within the quad boundary.
