A rare and exceptional map of San Francisco's Chinatown, dating to the Summer of Love, 1967. Drawn by the Chinese-American artist, Bob Chan, the map is oriented to the East and centers on the intersection of Grant Avenue and Washington Street, extending from Powell Street (unlabeled) to Kearny Street, and from California Street to Pacific Avenue. The map aptly illustrates the density of the population, particularly on Grant Avenue. Cartoonish illustrations of prominent local business and historic buildings are noted throughout. A large Chinese dragon sprawls along the bottom of the map. (more details)
