1955 Map of San Francisco

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

San Francisco and its neighboring East Bay hubs of Oakland and Berkeley anchor this mid-century topographic perspective of the central California coast. The landscape is defined by the heavy military presence guarding the Golden Gate, including the Presidio of San Francisco, Fort Mason, and Fort Baker. This postwar era shows a region in the midst of massive suburban expansion, with the Southern Pacific railroad network connecting emerging residential centers like San Bruno and Palo Alto.
