1950 Map of San Francisco South

USGS Topo · Published 1950

About this map

San Francisco and its southern neighboring communities in San Mateo County undergo significant post-war expansion on this 1950 edition. The landscape is defined by the massive cluster of memorial parks in Colma, including Holy Cross Cemetery and Hills of Eternity Cem, which creates a unique green belt between the residential grids of Daly City and South San Francisco. To the east, the shoreline of San Francisco Bay shows the early footprint of the San Francisco International Airport and industrial landmarks like the Livestock Exposition Bldg near Visitacion Pt. Significant geological features such as the San Andreas Rift Zone and the San Bruno Mountains dominate the central and western terrain. Recreational spaces and transit arteries like Tanforan Race Track and the Southern Pacific railroad underscore the area's development as a vital transportation and suburban corridor during the mid-century.
