A panoramic map of Berkeley, California, drawn in 1909 by Charles Green, shows the town as a bird's-eye view, with streets, buildings, and campus grounds laid out in a single sweeping perspective. Maps of this kind were popular in the early twentieth century, when artists and surveyors drew towns from an elevated angle to show their growth and character at a glance. Berkeley at the time was a university town, anchored by the University of California campus, and a view like this captures how the college and the surrounding residential streets fit together on the hills above San Francisco Bay.
