The map
Hayward sits on the eastern shore of San Francisco Bay, and its map moves in clear bands from west to east. Along the water lie salt marshes, ponds and shoreline trails. Inland comes a wide, flat grid of residential streets, freeways and industrial areas. Further east the land rises into the hills, where streets begin to curve with the contours.
The San Mateo–Hayward Bridge runs from the city's shoreline across the bay, one of the longest bridges in the area. The Hayward Fault passes directly through the city, and its slow creep has visibly shifted curbs and structures, making the town a common stop for geologists. California State University, East Bay, stands on the hills overlooking the flatlands.
A Hayward map poster shows how compact the Bay Area really is: bay water, a dense grid and open hills all fit in one frame. The long line of the bridge heading west gives the composition direction, and the soft shapes of the marshes contrast nicely with the regular blocks of the flatlands.

The long bridge extends west from the Hayward shore across the bay, a single straight line reaching toward the Peninsula.
East of downtown the grid gives way to curving hillside streets, with the Cal State East Bay campus set above the flatlands.
