This early map of Alameda and Contra Costa counties was printed in blue ink and published by Punnett Brothers in San Francisco. The most prominent feature of the map is the township grid of the Public Land Survey System, with development mostly confined along the San Francisco Bay and the railroad lines. The street grid pattern of cities are depicted including Oakland, San Pablo, and Hayward, and a number of ranchos, railroads, and rivers are located. San Francisco is shown across the Bay. Folds into brown cloth covers (4.8 x 8.6") with printed title label and additional pastedown label for Dietrich & Leistner Real Estate Insurance.
