The image is certainly copyrighted and I'm certain that UC Berkeley doesn't want some foamer stealing their image, clipping off the UC Berkeley property tag, and posting it on their website without permission.

It appears to be near the present McGee PG&E substation, and that's an old sub, so it might be a power feed point.

Nothing from 1911 is still in copyright. So enough with the IP whinging.

Sam, On the map,just west of Grove and next to the Sante Fe line and University Ave, there's a black circle. It's says something 'point'. What is that?

I can make out feeding point. How's about a power feed point?

When was this map issued?

From 1911. This was pirated from UC Berkeley. This is a possible copywrite infringement.

Copyright for a document published 94 years ago? How charmingly ignorant!

I grew up in Albany, and went to AHS on Key Route Blvd. Did the Key System ever run down between there? I've never seen it on any maps. There is a picture in the book "Valley Division Vignettes" by Jack Kreiger, but I can't tell exactly where it was. Thank you.

I live at 3244 Louise Street in West Oakland I was told by a cab driver that our house was a stop along the line and that the downstairs was a market. Is there anyway to find out if this is true? Thanks!

Key Route Blvd in Albany: I read elsewhere that it was the route of the "planned but never built" extension of the G line.

Here's a picture of Key Route Blvd. at Solano: http://www.bayarearailfan.org/photogal/full.php?id=1236&s= (There's also a "Key St." in El Cerrito that is probably related.)

Nice stolen image. I agree with the guest post above. Not so much that the map is under copyright, but the digital image is. Geez, at least credit the owner.

This map was scanned in from an original at the Oakland Library History Room. Nothing was "clipped" out or cropped. If it came from UC Berkeley, then somehow the Oakland Library got it, because that is where I obtained it (have never been to or even know where the UC Berkeley library is), and what you see is what was at the library. Sorry if it appears like it was "stolen". Hey maybe the Oakland Library stole it! Relax already.

Nice picture - good to see that copyright is more important than history. Is the Arlington line on here? It's hard to make out where it would go.

Um, re copyright: 1. 94 years old = Public Domain. 2. Digital image belongs to Cal? Cal belongs to taxpayers. All your scan are belong to us.

You do not get a copyright on a scan of public domain material. Mere reproduction does not grant new copyright. If you use the original in part of a new creation, then that overall creation can be copyrighted but not those public domain segments.
A scan adds no new information. Scan an old out-of-copyright item, and you get no copyright. Take a photo of the map hanging on the wall in a frame - new information, you get a copyright on that photo because of the wall, frame, etc. But not the map.

I read this paragraph fully regarding the resemblance of hottest and preceding technologies, it's remarkable article.
