Description
An interesting map showing part of the present-day Embarcadero area of downtown San Diego. Specifically, the area just south of Market Street (here labeled H. Street), between Kettner (here India Street) and Columbia Streets. The waterfront is indicated with a bit of wash color. Approximately 30 numbered structures or lots are shown just below the route of the Santa Fe Railroad, which also runs through the area shown.
The map was made as an exhibit for a land related legal case.
Such original 19th-century manuscript maps of San Diego are rare in the market.
