First edition of this exceptionally scarce map demarcating the extent of the S.F.O.T. Railways Co. upon its formation in 1912 had after the merger of the Key System, East Shore & Suburban Railway, and the Oakland Traction Co. by the three main competitors to the Southern Pacific commuter ferry market, who also established their own ferry system, and substantially expanded their new streetcar line suburbs across the East Bay. The map depicts their growth and reach from Hawayrd to Richmond, CA, with stops in Albany, Berkeley, Piedmont, Oakland, Alameda, San Leandro, and San Lorenzo in between. Also depicted are the railroad lines of the Southern Pacific, Santa Fe, Western Pacific, Oakland & Antioch Railway, and Richmond Belt Line Railway. In 1932 the conversion to motorized buses began on August 1, when the East Richmond/23rd Street line was entirely changed over. They were then steadily converted until No., 1933, when the S.F.O.T. Railways streetcars made their last runs. No copies in Worldcat. See: San Francisco-Oakland Terminal Railways: Bond History and Sinking Fund Requirements (1915); Plan of Reorganization (1922).

Two parts. 1st - One double-sided atlas folio map. 28 x 22 in., featuring Candrian's wood plank logo displaying Oakland, Alameda, and Piedmont, w/ inset map of San Leandro, neatline borders, and map of City of Richmond inset on verso (fold creases as issued, some thumbing, edgewear, couple closed tears, 1 central closed tear at crease fold), still G- copy; 2nd - 12mo. 3.4 x 7.4 in. 96 pp. With 12 pp. of maps and Car-o-Gram glyphs graphically representing streetcar lines in the East Bay, with sepia-tinted photo illustrations. Green-tinted and printed softcovers, rounded corners (minor sunning to lower fore-edges), still a VG copy. First editions, thus, of this very scarce pair, including the detailed map of Oakland, Alameda, Berkeley, Piedmont, San Leandro, and Richmond, CA detailing the public buildings, parks, city streets, and more specifically the trolley and streetcar lines across and connecting the East Bay, along with Candrian's innovative Car-o-Gram guidebook. The City of Richmond map includes not only the city boundary line, but also connecting railroads such as the Santa Fe Railroad, as well as electric streetcar lines. This version does not include the American Bank advertisements which appear in other examples as border to the City of Richmond inset map on verso. Candrian (1862-1928) was a Swiss-American entrepreneur who was the first to introduce Car-oGrams which were little glyphs making streetcar lines much more accessible, and although not the best representations, the glyphs provided vital visual information for travelers and visitors.
