[MAP] Bancroft's Official Guide Map of City and County of San Francisco...

San Francisco: The Bancroft Company, 1881 Map. Very Good. No Binding. Large folding black & white lithographed pocket map. 63x75 cm. plus borders. Original shoreline hand-colored. Light creases where once folded into wrappers, a few short tears to right blank border, 4 inch repaired tear to edge, some reinforcement to rear at fold junctions. Very good condition. An extremely detailed and handsome map of San Francisco on a scale of 2500 feet to the inch. Along the bottom border is a lengthy "Reference List of Prominent Places," (about 380 places) which keys their location on the map. The prominent places include cemeteries, churches, hospitals, hotels, parks, public buildings railroad depots, schools, theaters, wharves and ferries, etc. An inset on the right provides a skeleton map showing the relative position of San Francisco to the surrounding Bay Area. The original western shoreline (before the landfill) is shown and highlighted with color..
