(California - San Francisco) Copy of the Official Map of the city of San Francisco, full and complete to the present date. Compiled by Wm. M. Eddy, City Surveyor. January 15th, 1851 Author: Eddy, William M. Place Published: [San Francisco] Date Published: [1851] Description: Lithographed map, with numerous manuscript pencil and colored ink annotations, additions, lot numbers, etc., added. 60x47 cm (23½x18½"). Rare annotated copy of Eddy's "Red Line" map, showing the areas to be expanded into the bay, then under water. This contemporaneous copy with many annotations, numbering the blocks, drawing additional streets and divisions as far west as Webster Street. A red ink note at tops states: "Red Numbers in 50 Vara District are assessor's block numbers." A more extensive ink note in lower right reads "Green line is the line of San Francisco Beach and water lots as per act of 3-26-51 but it continues westward along the line of ship's channel to western boundary line of city - then south again & then east(?) to P.O.B." There are many other interesting features, a map that speaks of the frantic expansion of the great gold rush city. "CU-B Dup" penciled in lower right. Additional shipping charges may apply Condition: Old folds with some wear and a few short splits, a few repairs with one perhaps necessitated by removal of text beneath the title, other expected wear for a working map; very good.
