I really want to thank you for your maps as well. I'm a map geek(as a kid in the 60's I wondered why the Hall of Records was at a weird angle) and they really help clarify the evolution of the city from one point in time to another. The one quibble I have is that I think Poundcake Hill didn't extend all the way to 1st Street, the southern portion of the slope ending in the middle of Grand Park where the Old Hall of Records Building was. I could, of course, be wrong.

Glad you like the maps,
Bill!
The more I look at old photos of Poundcake Hill, the more I agree with you. And of course, an actual poundcake is circular, not rectangular.
Do you think that this is more accurate, Bill?
