Very good. Laid down original old linen. Some edge wear and loss. Else very clean. Size 56.5 x 54 Inches. This is the only surviving example of Curtis M. Barker's unrecorded 1901 cyanotype or blueprint city planning wall map of San Jose, California - today's 'Capital of Silicon Valley'. It presents the city during an explosive period of expansion, as new developments and neighborhoods were being added continuously. Given the size and precision of this map, it can only be an official city planning map used by the administration for urban management. A Closer Look The map is oriented towards the east-northeast, with the Coyote River at top and the Guadalupe River and Los Gatos Creek in the middle towards bottom. The City Limits here are far smaller than the city's eventual extent; in the following decades, the unincorporated territory to the west (bottom), including the posh Alameda neighborhood built along the old Camino Real, north, and south, would be annexed. A small legend at right explains symbols used for schools, notes the size of the city's population, and mentions the area of its largest downtown plaza and park. In addition to schools and parks, streets, planned but still undeveloped blocks (at bottom-right), hotels (including the opulent Hotel Vendome), libraries, civic buildings, rail lines and stations, a racetrack and fairgrounds at bottom, waterways, and other features are noted. Naglee Park at the top is not a public park but the estate of the Union Civil War General Henry Morris Naglee (1815 - 1886). Around the time of this map's production, the estate, which was sprawling and contained sumptuous gardens and vineyards, was sold to developers and subdivided for single-family home lots. Retaining the name Naglee Park, it became home to many large and architecturally significant homes (mostly built after the 1906 earthquake) designed in the Tudor and Mission Revival styles. Other developments on the periphery of the city (Hyde Park, Cottage Grove, East San Jose) also hint at its expansion at this time. City of Schools San Jose played an important role in the early history of education in California, perhaps the reason for schools being highlighted so prominently here. The State Normal School, namesake for the square (also known as Washington Sq.), was founded in San Francisco in 1857, moved to San Jose in 1871, and is now San Jose State University. The University of the Pacific - founded 1851 in Santa Clara, also moving to San Jose in 1871 - is noted at bottom-left at College Park. The university relocated to Stockton in 1923 and the Jesuit Bellarmine College Preparatory school took over the campus, but the area retains the name 'College Park.' Perhaps most notable of all is the College de Notre Dame near center, the first college chartered in California in 1851, an all-girls Catholic institution that is the basis for today's Notre Dame de Namur University located in Belmont on the San Francisco Peninsula, while another part of the institution relocated in the 1920s to a different location in downtown San Jose and became Notre Dame High School. Rail Interchange Several railways are noted, including the Southern Pacific Railroad, the narrow-gauge South Pacific Coast Railroad running to Santa Cruz (whose depot is the basis for today's Diridon Station, a major interchange for Amtrak and Caltrain), and the Central Pacific Railroad's Niles Division, which linked nearby Fremont with Sacramento and the original Transcontinental Railroad. The city also had a nascent streetcar and interurban electric trolley system, not indicated here. The trolleys eventually ran as far south as Los Gatos and as far north as Palo Alto (by 1910, independent lines were consolidated as the Peninsular Railway, a subsidiary of the Southern Pacific). Attempts at Chinese and Japanese Exclusion Most of the land north of Taylor St. at left belonged to James D. Phelan (1861 - 1930), a banker who was the Mayor of San Francisco when this map was produc.…
