Below are digital links to some hard-to-find ancient maps of Berkeley and the area that was to become Berkeley.

This is a link to an interesting commercial website with the ability to view the Oakland-Berkeley areas (and many other places, too) as they looked in 1878. Plus the site has the ability to overlay the historic maps over a modern google map of the same areas. The library makes NO guarantees about purchasing from the website.
