Description
Mill Valley's Alto intersection on October 31, 1955, before the overpass was built. The photo shows Highway 101 going south, East Blithedale Avenue branching off toward the right and Tiburon Boulevard branching off to the left. The Strawberry Village Shopping Center would later be developed in the upper left-hand corner and Enchanted Knolls in the lower right-hand corner on the bare hills (1980). In the upper right is Shelter Ridge. Contour lines on hills at right are cow trails on dairy ranch grazing land. The homes on the left are part of Sutton Manor and were built by several private contractors as individual's homes and tract houses before and after World War II.
