Title: US. Dept of Commerce. Economic Aspects of Comprehensive Survey of San Francisco Bay and Tributaries. Future Development of the San Francisco Bay Area 1960-2020 Author: Place: Washington DC. Publisher: GPO Date: 1959 Description: xxi, 94 [37] pp. Report in pictorial wrappers. Also included in 20 large folding maps, many in color, printed in 22 parts. All housed in original slipcase. The now-famous report prepared by the US Army Corps of Engineers in which this far-sighted group proposed the "reclamation" of virtually all of the tidal and marsh land in the entire SF Bay, effectively turning the Bay into a sluggish river.
