About this map

Mount Davidson stands as a central peak in this detailed 2012 survey, overlooking a dense urban landscape that stretches from the residential enclaves of Saint Francis Wood and Ingleside to the industrial waterfront. The map captures a unique concentration of memorial sites in the south, particularly in Colma, where Cypress Lawn Memorial Park, Holy Cross Cem, and the Japanese Cem dominate the local geography. This concentration reflects the regional historical shift of burial sites from the city proper to this specialized necropolis.

Along the eastern shoreline, the maritime infrastructure of Pier 80 and the Islais Creek Channel transitions into the natural features of Candlestick Point and Oyster Point. The map also documents major institutional footprints, such as San Francisco State University near Lake Merced and the Golden Gate Produce Terminal in South San Francisco. From the residential heights of Bernal Heights to the shoreline of the Pacific Ocean, the sheet provides a meticulous record of modern infrastructure and land use.
