Alameda, CA - West end in 1895
|
|
The image at the left is a close up view of the West end of Alameda, from a
portion of a map made in 1895. It shows a lot of great
detail, including the early railroad and pier (the moles) connections. Good
early view of the the relationship between the San Antonio Creek, Oakland
Harbor, and Lake Merritt. Also note the very large marshy area between
Oakland and Alameda, near what is today, the Webster Street and Posey Tube
and the areas West of there.
