I georeferenced a map, from the #Peralta Family Manuscripts held the #Oakland History Center. It's here in 300dpi, zoom-able. (46MB) If you want the qgz and related files for QGIS, I'm happy to share them.

This is the 1859 Plat of the Northern Part of the Rancho San Antonio, AKA one of the first maps of what's now #Emeryville, #Berkeley and Oakland. There is not much detail within its boundaries, but the homes of Victor Castro and Domingo and Vicente Peralta are where we'd expect. (Note, Vicente's home was near modern Vicente Way.) The road crossings at the border, and across #LakeMerritt all match modern roads. I was able to find enough common points on our modern city/county border to #georeference it; most hadn't changed.

This is a shame. Firestone Walker bought out the rights to brew Trumer Pills (a beer I like.) Firestone Walker’s owners are Trump supporters so I need to find another locally made pilsner.
