1956 Map of San Francisco North

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

San Francisco's urban core and the iconic waterfront are captured in this mid-century survey, revealing the city before the mid-60s building boom. The map highlights the dense street grids of Chinatown, Nob Hill, and the Mission District, while the massive piers along the San Francisco Bay emphasize the era's maritime strength near the Ferry Building. To the north, Alcatraz Island still houses the Federal Penitentiary, its isolation emphasized by the deep waters of the Golden Gate.
