The Berkeley History Room has a handful of 19th- and early 20th-century tract maps. Some are in the mapcase behind the Reference Desk, some in the Swingle Collection. Make a History Room appointment by calling 510-981-6148 to view these often fragile maps.
Some that are available for online viewing include:
- Blake Tract No. 3, 1881
Located in what is now downtown, bounded by Allston Way, Atherton Street (a street that does not exist anymore, lying one block to the East of Fulton Street), Bancroft Way, and Shattuck Avenue.
- Edith Tract, 1890
Located in North Berkeley, bounded by Cedar Street, Grant Street, Virginia Street, and Hamilton Street (now known as McGee Street).
