This map, which shows portions of Alameda and Contra Costa counties as well as San Francisco and Marin, was published in 1984, and created from carefully compiled official and private maps, surveys and data. The map shows how the Rancho San Pablo, stretching from the Alameda County line to Pinole Valley, was partitioned after years of legal wrangling over deeds and claims. Map is from the Library of Congress.
