1956 Map of San Francisco North

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

The dense urban grid of San Francisco meets the Pacific and the Bay in this mid-century survey, which reveals the city before the full expansion of its freeway system. While the Central Skyway and Skyway begin to carve through the Mission District and Western Addition, the map still emphasizes the primary transit roles of the Ferry Building and the Mission Rock Terminal. To the north, the Golden Gate Bridge connects the city to the Fort Baker Military Reservation, while the Presidio Military Reservation maintains its sprawling presence along the coast.
