Description
Detailed map of San Francisco in 1866, oriented with west at the top.
Includes a detailed treatment of San Francisco, naming streets, squares, public buildings, churches, parks, etc.
The contours of the coastline, before the landfill along the bay was added, can still be seen.
A list of 4 Rail Road (street car) lines is included, including:
- Front St. Ocean & Mission RR (Summit of Telegraph Hill)
- Central RR (Summit of Russian Hill)
- North Beach & Mission RR (Summit of Clay St. Hill)
- Ominbus RR (Summit of California and Sacramento St.)
This is the first time we have seen this map offered for sale, although it likely comes from an early travel guide.
