Tourist Maps for California, San Francisco, Castro District / Gay Interest

Description: With its equable climate, dramatic scenery and lively nightlife, San Francisco is a perennial favorite for both domestic and international travelers. Though it was hit hard by the pandemic, and much of its downtown area is a bit bedraggled, it is still a big draw for gay & lesbian tourists from all over. Included here are the latest travel maps & guides for both the great state of California, the City by the Bay and the Castro District (the epicenter of the Bay Area’s gay community). There is the official vacation map for California, featuring a map of Northern California and its great metropolis (the SF/Oakland/San Jose region) on one side, along with a map of Southern California and its great urban centers (LA/OC and the San Diego area) on the other side (from Visit California, 2024); an official San Francisco Visitor’s Map & Guide, featuring a street map of this compact city of 47 square miles and 800,000 people on one side, along with smaller maps of its downtown area, the wider Bay Area and the state of California, on the other side (from sftravel.com, 2024); a handy 60-page guide to the Castro District, the gayest neighborhood in the gayest city, located smack dab in the center of San Francisco (from Castro Merchants Association, 2024), a brochure entitled “Out and About” outlining historic & LGBT sights in the Castro (from The Castro Community Benefits District, circa 2022); and a brochure for the Rainbow Honor walk, a tour of the Castro neighborhood’s many sidewalk plaques honoring such gay icons as Oscar Wilde, Tennessee Williams, Alan Turing, Gertrude Stein, Harvey Milk, Freddie Mercury, Quentin Crisp, James Baldwin, Allen Ginsburg, Sally Ride, Bayard Rustin, Divine and many others (from rainbowhonorwalk.org, circa 2020).
