History of San Francisco street names mapped by Nathan Yau.
Nathan points to a project that has captured not only street names but the history of those names for part of San Francisco.
You don’t have to be there to appreciate the map.
Reminded me of a highway in a small town where I lived in Louisiana that was variously known as Hwy. 84, Winnfield Highway, “Front street” or simply the “front.”
Each of those names had a history, had anyone cared to capture them.
