1956 Map of San Francisco South

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

Holy Cross Cemetery and Cypress Lawn Memorial Park form a significant necropolis within Colma, highlighting the unique cluster of memorial sites south of the city. The landscape transitions from the urban density of the Sunset District and Ingleside toward the industrial waterfronts of Bayshore and South San Francisco. This era captures the expansion of infrastructure, including the Bayshore Freeway and the San Francisco International Airport as they integrated with established transit lines like the Southern Pacific railroad.
