Treasure Island
Abstract
Driving across California's San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge, Yerba Buena Island appears about midway through, and alongside it sits Treasure Island. Although home to a population of 2,300 people, numerous local companies, a 40-acre campus occupied by the U.S. Department of Labor, and a popular music festival named after it, the island is often an overlooked destination. Located in the second-most densely populated urban area in the U.S., how have these two islands, comprising 575 acres with stunning San Francisco and East Bay views, remained unchanged for the last 80 years? The answers lie in the island's history, geologic composition, and seismic setting.
