"San Francisco Harbor - Its Commerce and Docks with a Complete Plan for Development Being the Report of the Engineers of the Federated Harbor Improvement Associations",

This 60 page report was written two years after the great earthquake of 1906, and proposed a bond issuance to improve and expand the city's port facilities. It was ultimately approved and implemented through the San Francisco Harbor Improvement Act of 1909. Included within the report are the following three folding maps:

Map of the Water Front of San Francisco from Sonoma St. to Van Ness Ave. (28.5 x 10"). Depicts the existing wharves and slips on the city's water front.
