This is an early city plan of San Francisco. Planned tracts extend into the bay depicting the areas of landfill extension. The map provides excellent detail, including individual numbered lots and many street names. Some of the locations identified include the Yerba Buena Cemetery, a Government Reserve, two public squares, and Fort Montgomery, but no buildings are shown. There is a colored key at lower left listing a grant to Senora Briones, the claims of the heirs of Col. J. A. King and a claim of Senor Pana under a Mexican Grant. Two distance scales at the lower right measure Mexican varas and English feet. Attributed by Howes to the report, "Land Titles in California" by William C. Jones. An early view of the city that was drawn by S. W. Higgins and printed by C.B. Graham.
