1956 Map of San Francisco North

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

The Golden Gate Bridge anchors this mid-century portrait of the peninsula, spanning the narrows between Fort Baker Military Reservation and the Presidio Military Reservation. The map details a city in a period of significant infrastructural expansion, capturing the early footprints of the Central Skyway and James Lick Memorial Freeway as they begin to thread through the dense grid of the Western Addition and Mission District. Purple revisions from 1968 highlight the evolving urban landscape, including new developments near China Basin and along the northeastern waterfront.
