Note:
Norris: "Very scarce railroad map of San Francisco." Streeter purchased the Norris copy, which was not in as good condition as this copy. Not in any of the standard references. Red circles emanate from City Hall showing distances at 1/4 mile intervals. Four railroads are identified. The map goes west to Divisadero and south to Alta Street. On the inside front cover is an ad for the Pacific Map Depot, A. Gensoul, 511 Montgomery Street. Various maps, including Mining maps are listed for sale. The front of the dark green cloth covers 9.5x8 have a printed purple label "Railroad Pocket Map Of The City Of San Francisco. Pacific Map Depot. San Francisco, Cal." A later issue was published in 1866 by Gensoul; a similar map was used in various editions of the San Francisco Municipal Reports in the 1860's.
