English: A fine example of the 1856 U.S. Coast Survey chart of San Francisco Bay. Covers the Golden Gate area, the Marin Peninsula, San Francisco, Mission de Dolores, and the eastern coastline from Brooks Island to San Antonio Creek.

Thousands of depth soundings throughout. Sailing instructions in the lower left quadrant. Tidal notations in the lower right quadrant. In the upper right quadrant there is a sub-sketch of the entrance to San Francisco Bay. The triangulation for this chart was prepared by R. D CUtts. The topography is the work of R. D. Cutts, A.
