1956 Map of San Francisco North

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

San Francisco Bay serves as the focal point for this mid-century topographic record, spanning from the dense urban grids of San Francisco to the residential hills of Sausalito and Belvedere. The landscape is defined by its maritime and military heritage, with the Golden Gate Bridge connecting the Presidio Military Reservation to the Marin Headlands State Park. Prominent landmarks such as Alcatraz Island and Angel Island State Park sit amidst the shipping lanes, while the city's waterfront is anchored by Fishermans Wharf and the Ferry Building.
