2018 Map of San Francisco South

About this map

Colma serves as a unique focal point for genealogical research in this 2018 survey, which documents the extensive network of burial grounds south of San Francisco. The map preserves the names and boundaries of numerous denominational and ethnic cemeteries, including the Japanese Cem, Italian Cem, Serbian Cem, and Russian Sectarian Cem, alongside the sprawling Golden Gate National Cemetery. This dense concentration of memorial parks reflects the mid-19th-century transition when burials were relocated out of the city proper.
