San Francisco Bay Area Visitor's Map

A paper map that includes six maps of the San Francisco Bay Area

This is a full-color, pictorial map of the San Francisco Bay Area. The large type makes it easy to read, and the many illustrations make it fun to use.

On one side is the main map is an illustrated map of the entire San Francisco Bay Area.

On the other side are illustrated maps of Downtown San Francisco, Fisherman’s Wharf, Golden Gate Park, San Jose and Santa Clara, and the Wine Country, plus an index.

As a bonus, surrounding the main map is a series of illustrations titled A Short Illustrated History of the San Francisco Bay Area.

The map measures 18” x 24”, folded to 4” x 9”. It was first published in 1990. The most recent update was in 2000.

Unfortuately, this map is now out of print.
