The city of San Francisco
was incorporated in 1850, and later grew to become one of the most
famous cities in the US. The California Gold Rush in 1848 saw the city's
population increase from 1,000 to 25,000 over the course of a year. This
beautiful map provides a look back to the early days of the city.
Complete reference list below.
Bottom text reads:
The City is located about 7 miles
from the entrance of the Harbor. The Harbor with it's imposing Grandeur
and beauty, may safely be called one of the most magnificent in the
World. At Present there are between 4 and 500 square rigged vessels at
anchor in the Bay, many of which are hidden from view by the opposite
hill on the left. In the extreme left will be seen the Island of Yerba
Buena, and also in the same direction about 50 miles distant. Monte
Diablo peering from behind the Hills of Contra Cosla.
