Description

An early bird's-eye view photograph of late 19th-century downtown San Diego. The perspective is from the Russ School, current site of San Diego High School (corner of Russ Street and Park Blvd.) The Russ School was established in 1882 and named for lumberman Joseph Russ, who provided building materials for the school building.

The view shows many downtown homes and business buildings, including the office of the long defunct San Diego Daily Bee.

Though not signed, we are reasonably certain the photographer was Henry Ellis Coonley, whose other signed caption titles are in an identical hand as that in the present image.

Condition Description
Original albumen photograph on card mount. Slightest wear on edges. Image very nice.

Survey of San Diego River and its vicinity with a view to the Construction of a Levee and Canal to turn the river from its present course by order of Col. J.J. Abert . . . by George H. Derby . . . 1853

This is the earliest obtainable map of San Diego to show Mission Valley and the San Diego River with any significant detail. It was produced by what appears to be the Army Corps of Topographical Engineers, a short-lived but highly important branch of the Corps. The purpose of the survey was to collect information for constructions that would change the course of the San Diego River, altering its outflow from San Diego Bay to "False Bay;" the latter is now known as Mission Bay.
