1899 Map of San Francisco

About this map

The Pueblo Lands of San Francisco are depicted in striking detail at the close of the nineteenth century, showing a city defined by its dense street grid and emerging civic spaces like Golden Gate Park. Along the northern waterfront, the military presence is prominent at the Presidio and Fort Mason, while the legendary Cliff House stands on the western edge overlooking the Pacific. Across the Golden Gate, the settlements of Sausalito and Tiburon are connected by the N. P. Coast R. R., marking the early transportation hubs of the North Bay.
