Note
Rare first edition of the U.S. Coast Survey map of the City of San Francisco and vicinity. Printed without color. Relief shown by contours and spot heights. Includes note and table of reference to public buildings. 1857 edition marked a significant improvement in the USCS's mapping of San Francisco. Prepared by A.F. Rogers, it captured the tremendous growth of the City, locating wharves, streets, buildings, roads, topographical features and places such as the Union Race Course and Pioneer Race Course, west of the City. While first issued and corrected in 1857, neither of the 1857 editions was never published in the regular annual Coast Survey reports until a revised edition, dated 1859, was issued. This chart was first issued in 1857, with another edition issued later in 1857 that differs from the earlier edition and is apparently the same as 1859 edition see our 1030). The first edition does not include soundings, has a shorter "note" in the top right corner, and does not include the "Blosom rock Buoy" which appears below the table. It also does not include the "hydrography by Lieut. R.M. Cuyler". OCLC locates only 3 copies of this 1857 edition at San Francisco National Maritime Museum, University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee, and the British Library.
