1956 Map of San Francisco South

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

The northern reaches of San Mateo County and the southern edge of San Francisco showcase a densely packed landscape of postwar development and specialized land use in the mid-1950s. Colma serves as a distinct necropolis, featuring an extraordinary concentration of burial grounds including Holy Cross Cemetery, Hills of Eternity Memorial Park, and Cypress Lawn Memorial Park. This pattern of suburban growth is further defined by extensive educational and recreation sites, from San Francisco State College near Lake Merced to the numerous golf courses such as the Olympic Golf Club and San Francisco Golf Club.
