Cathcart Map
of San Francisco’s Chinatown

While conducting research, a very interesting book came to light by Jim Schein:

Based on the work of photographer/map maker Ken Cathcart, Jim has produced a hand-colorized map of Chinatown in 1947 highlighting historically significant locations in “Dai Fou” (Big City). The map depicts many of the places Lennie referred to and is a wonderful visual aid for the target audience of Sojourners to Joke Sings...young people.

You are invited to take a virtual tour of San Francisco Chinatown. Study the map, then press the button below and a series of icons will appear. Click on any one and a dialogue box will appear giving a little information about the place selected.
