Oakland Geology

Foothill Boulevard descends to Lake Merritt in this gentle slope down from the old marine terrace (Clinton terrace).

For a mile and half east from here, Foothill runs along the terrace. East of 14th Avenue, where it’s a two-way street, it skirts the steep edge of the Fan at San Antonio hill where the contrast between the two geologic units is most dramatic.
