1956 Map of San Francisco North

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

San Francisco's dense urban grid meets the Pacific and the Bay in this mid-century survey, revealing a landscape defined by civic institutions and coastal defense. The city is a tightly packed network of schools and churches, from the Lombard Sch in the north to the Mission H S in the south. The northern waterfront is dominated by maritime and military presence, anchored by the Presidio Military Reservation and the distinctive piers of Fishermans Wharf. Across the Golden Gate, the survey highlights the transition from the city's built environment to the shorelines of Sausalito and the rugged heights of Angel Island.
