1853 USCS Chart: City of San Francisco and Vicinity
Very nice early chart of the City of San Francisco and Vicinity. Shows great detail of the buildings, streets, piers, roads, topography, and nearby towns. Includes detailed depth soundings, bottom conditions, points, rocks, explanatory notes, tides, reservoirs, and building names. Topography is shown with contour lines which is unusual for the time period.Folded map as issued. IMPORTANT NOTE: All of our United States Coast Survey (USCS), United States Coast & Geodetic Survey (USC&GS), and similar maps and charts have been professionally unfolded and flattened using humidity baths, semi-permeable membrane and drying blotter techniques. Most others you typically see on eBay have not been, and worse, are quickly and crudely unfolded for the low quality photos you see. Unfolding these maps in that way is damaging and weakens them. Please be aware.
