Note
Important early map of Sausalito, showing the lands of the Sausalito Land & Ferry Company. Oriented with Southwest at the top. Relief shown by hachures. The map credits G.T. Brown & Co. in San Francisco as the printer and W. Vallance Gray as the lithographer, making this one of the earliest maps produced by G.T. Brown & Company. In 1868, the Saucelito Land & Ferry Company purchased a tract of land and began advertising water front property in Saucelito Ranch. Bulkley laid out the town in a series of town lots and larger country seats, along with the streets shown on the map. The first building constructed was the Saucelito Hotel in 1869. The map provides an excellent look at the detailed planning associated with the re-birth of Saucelito in 1868. The town is meticulously laid out over a fine topographical presentation of the terrain adjoining Richardson's Bay and extending to Bear Valley and Tennessee Valley. A number of the waterfront blocks laid out on the map were actually underwater at the time of its construction, as highlighted by the meandering coastline adjoining Richardson's Bay. This ambitious use of the waterfront did not result in permanent streets or development for a significant portion of the underwater lands, but some parts of this original layout did in fact survive in the present layout of the town. The map would appear to be the earliest printed map of Sausalito and is pre-dated in OCLC only by a photocopy of the G.F. Emmons manuscript map of the town, produced circa 1851. 3 examples of map found (Bancroft, British Library and Huntington Library). Brown produced another map of Sausalito in 1875 (1 copy located - Bancroft). No other maps of Sausalito were apparently published until 1880, when the Schmidt Label Company published a a new map for the Sausalito Land and Ferry Company (1 copy located at Yale).
