About this map

Presidio of San Francisco and its storied military landscape anchor this mid-1990s survey of the northern peninsula. The map captures the transition of strategic coastal defenses into recreational spaces, including the Fort Point National Historic Site and the expansive Golden Gate National Recreation Area. From the historic Mission District to the densely gridded streets of Chinatown and North Beach, the urban fabric is shown in high detail, illustrating the city's established neighborhood boundaries and major institutions like the University of San Francisco and St Francis Hospital.

Maritime activity is central to this geography, with the Golden Gate Bridge and the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge spanning the currents of the San Francisco Bay. Island landmarks such as Alcatraz Island and Angel Island State Park are charted alongside the industrial waterfronts of China Basin and Central Basin. The presence of the Trans-Bay Transit Tube underscores the modern infrastructure connecting the city to the wider bay region.
