Hunters Point California Oakland USGS Topographic Map 1969

$43

This USGS 7.5-minute topographic map is a 1956 edition printed in 1969, in very good condition on thick stock with only light handling and a single horizontal foldline across the middle. Spanning both sides of San Francisco Bay, the quad area takes in the southeastern edge of the city of San Francisco along with parts of Oakland, Alameda, and South San Francisco across the water. Drawn from 1946 and 1956 aerial and field survey work, it records the Hunters Point waterfront and adds bathymetric depths in San Francisco Bay, giving the underwater floor as much detail as the land.
