With nine maps, most folding and large (Maui is 110x133) showing land uses, topography, ownership, etc. The maps are dated around 1900 and are very interesting and attractive. The text and the maps give a look at the early commercial development of the islands. Several of the maps date from the Hawaiian Government Survey, headed by W.D. Alexander, the Surveyor General. This survey predated the U.S. take over in 1899. The later maps are by the Hawaii Territory Survey, Walter E. Wall, Surveyor. On the title page is stamped "Private Property of M.M. O'Shaughnessy." He built the Hetch-Hetchy water system for San Francisco as chief city engineer and many other important public works. Earlier in his career, he worked in Hawaii as a consultant to the plantations for various improvements (see DAB). |

Ryker, Harrison |
| Full Title |
(Index Map to) Location of Aerial Photos (drawn onto: Map of the City and County of San Francisco prepared by the Department of Public Works. John L. Casey, City Engineer. 1937). |
| List No |
5852.165 |
| Note |
Index map to a set of 164 spectacular, large format, sharp, black and white vertical aerial photography partially overlapping images covering San Francisco north of a line approximately between Merced Lake and Candlestick Point. Resolution generally better than one foot and much higher with high contrast features, for example the paint striping on a basketball court. Relative heights frequently discernible based on shadow cast of objects and structures. Handwritten date on index map indicates photographs taken in August, 1938. Owned by the San Francisco Public Library. (Authorship almost certainly incorrectly spelled in handwriting on index sheet as Harrison-Rikker). He married Charlotte Seward in the mid-1920s, after divorcing, he married Esther Miriam Munson in 1936 Aerial Photographer Harrison Clay (Chesley) Ryker (1898-1981) was born in Oakdale, CA. . He served in the U.S. Army for several years in Germany with the post-World War I occupational forces, and partook of educational opportunities at the University of California, Berkeley. Expanding on his hobby in photography, Mr. Ryker teamed with various pilots beginning aerial photography services out of the Oakland Airport and throughout the West. Colleagues included Lage Wernstedt of the U.S. Forest Service. He also worked with the Fairchild Aerial Camera Company (including an aerial survey of Puerto Rico) and Clyde Sunderland of Pacific Aerial Surveys. As well, he took photographs of the devastating 1923 Berkeley Fire, archived in The Bancroft Library. By 1938 Mr. Ryker was listed in business as a map publisher (see Polk's Oakland 1938 Street and Avenue Guide) based at 1924 Franklin St., Oakland. At that time, he had at least one patent pending for a stereoscope used for aerial photograph interpretation. (Note continued in Pub Note field below). |
