The map
About this Albany map poster
Albany is one of the smallest cities in the East Bay, tucked between Berkeley and El Cerrito in Alameda County. Its map shows an even grid of residential streets rising gently from the flatlands toward the hills. Solano Avenue runs through the northern part of town as its main commercial street, and the small wooded mound of Albany Hill stands near the western edge.
West of the freeway, the city reaches the Bay. Here the Albany Bulb, a former landfill, extends into the water as an irregular headland, now used as open space and known for its informal outdoor art. The former Golden Gate Fields racetrack also occupied this waterfront, and University Village provides housing for UC Berkeley.
An Albany map poster packs a lot into a small area: a tidy grid, a hill, a freeway and an irregular stretch of shoreline. In black and white, the Bulb stands out as an unusual shape at the edge of the sheet, a rough fragment of land that reaches out into the Bay.

Why Albany
A map that means something
Albany is a place people remember in detail: a first apartment in University Village, a walk to the end of the Bulb, a favourite spot on Solano. The map puts all of those in one compact frame.
