ENORMOUS RELIEF
MAP A CURIOSITY
Interesting Exhibit at Land
Show of Twin Peaks
Properties

Curves dips and angles of streets,
and the topography of big city are
deceptive. and a fiat map showing
them is often incomprehensible to the
layman. A relief map is comprehen-
sible to anybody If it is accurate.
With this well known fact in mind,
the Residential Development COM
pany, St Francis Wood, Ingleside Ter
races, Forest HID and Parkside, who
have arranged for a big exhibit of
their tracts west of Twin Peaks at
the California Land Show, conceived
the idea of having the largest relief
map ever made az one Of the striking
features of their combined exhibit.
This mammoth relief map, which
will be as comprehensive as an open
book, will be forty feet long and ten
feet wide, is now about completed by
John NJ Punnett, the well known
civil engineer. So far as known this
is the largest relief map ever made
and will doubtless be one of the at
tractive features of the land show
1t was constructed in ten separate
pieces.
Looking upon this huge map one
can faithfully follow the streets of
San Francisco from the Ferry slips
for half a mile on either side of Mar
ket street to the easteriy portal of
Twin Peaks tunnel, and thence the
topography and the improved and un-
improved districts for a mile on
either side of the tunnel to the county
line and the Pacific ocean
Not only will those who visit the
land show have an opportunity of
seeing this panoramic view of San
Francisco and it's environs. true In
a practical demonstration of Twin
Peaks tunnel and the constant opera
tion of miniature electric railroad
through the big bore.
The miniature electric cars will run
up Market street to the easterly por-
tai of the tunnel, then under the
barrier of hills beyond where $4,000
in San Francisco will be reclaimed by
rapid transit.
After coming out of the westerly
portal of the tunnel the miniature
railroad will branch off, one line run
ming to the county line, and the other
out Sloat boulevard to the ocean
Laguna Honda station will be
shown in the Forest Hill tract just
as 1t will be when the tunnel is COM
pleted. and rapid transit through the
| largest municipal tunnel for suburban
| traffic in the world will be fully and
| faithfully shown
True to their every street improve
rnents, the properties of st. Francis
Wood, Ingleside Terraces and Forest
Hill will appear upon the big relief
map. 1t will also show in detail the
proposed grade extension of Market
/ street from the easterIy portal of the
/ tunnel, by a contour route to a con-
nection with Corbett avenue, thus CIV
/ ing the residents of the section of the
city scouting the Twin Peaks hills on
| the east, an outlet to the beach by
Sloat boulevard.
