49-MILE SCENIC DRIVE
The 49-Mile Scenic Drive was created for visitors to our 1939-40 Golden Gate International Exposition,
where it ends. President Franklin D. Roosevelt experienced it about two months
before its September 14, 1938 dedication by aviator Wrong Way [Douglas G.] Corrigan.
The Seagull Signs that guide visitors were chosen in a 1955 competition.
Unidentified Districts include Eureka Valley, Parkside, Saint Francis Wood, others; part of
Excelsior mis-labeled as “Outer Mission”; San Francisco County Line is in Crocker-Amazon.

NOTICE:
The information that accompanies these wonderful maps, with absurdly drawn borders,
is an ignorable mix of fact, fiction, and fantasy with countless orthographic and grammatical errors.
Further, many neighborhoods shown are not named. Maps and mis-information probably created in England.
