Hey #Oakland & #Berkeley: I #georeferenced the 1854 Julius Kellersberger "#Map of the Ranchos of Vicente and Domingo #Peralta" using #QGIS. I've exported a 300dpi (zoomable) image of it with some transparency and a modern #OpenStreetMap base map, so you can see how it relates to the modern world.
I will write a blog post about it, with zoomed-in sections, but for now, a few observations:
* There are some very old roads.
* Why the streets and neighborhoods are cattywampus.
* Domingo's home (cordornices) is a landmark, as is Vicente's preserve.
* The brothers had a road between their homes, mostly gone, but traces remain. Vicente Way at Claremont Ave is the beginning.

I'll also upload a 72 dpi version here, but the useful version is at the google drive link. It's big. You might want to download it.
One of the reasons I did this was because of "Brik Kilns" at Adams Point, where the Grand Lake Theater is, now. I've been researching #bricks ...
