14mission on Nostr: Obscure #SanFrancisco history question. The Sunset has streets named alphabetically ...
Obscure #SanFrancisco history question. The Sunset has streets named alphabetically from Irving to Wawona (and maybe Yorba? but there's no X). The series seems to start in the Richmond with Anza, Balboa, and Cabrillo, with the gap from D-H being taken by #GoldenGatePark (and E/W streets at its borders not named in the series, Fulton and Lincoln. But, were the intervening streets ever named or surveyed? It's hard to find any maps of SF old enough to predate the park that show that side of town, since nothing was out there yet.
