A terrific plan of San Francisco. This very detailed map is similar in title to the 1853 edition, but is a completely different map. On a scale of 6" per mile the street and building detail is amazing. Topographical detail is shown with 20 ft. contour lines throughout the map. A table of Reference locates over 70 public buildings. At least 17 wharves and piers are named. Map extends west to show the Union and Pioneers race courses, the Mission de Dolores and Rancho de San Miguel. A terrific plan of San Francisco drawn by A. F. Rodgers with the hydrography by Lieut. R. M. Cuyler.
