Antique Palo Alto, California 1961 US Geological Survey Topographic Map – Silicon Valley, Stanford University, Menlo Park Pulgas Atherton CA

Beautiful, antique map of Palo Alto and surrounding San Mateo County & Santa Clara County areas. This is an authentic 1961 edition, 1974 print from the U.S. Geological Survey and NOT a computer reproduction.

See what Palo Alto, Menlo Park, Mountain View, Sunnyvale, and Los Altos looked like over 60 years ago. Lots of intricate details and geological contours. Map even has little squares for every house that existed at the time. The USGS cartographers were very thorough back then!
