Downtown San Francisco map

pictorial, illustrated map of downtown San Francisco

This map of downtown San Francisco shows the location of many of the city's neighborhoods and important attractions. Bear in mind that this map reflects the year 2000. Some things have changed in the years since, and a few of the changes have been noted in red. Here's the list:
