San Francisco Street Types

This map shows naming patterns for streets in San Francisco, California.

A bit of background on the data:

• In the east part of the city, which developed first, there are a large number of streets
• The west part of the city (the Richmond & Sunset districts today) were sand dunes until development in the early 1900s. Here you can see a large number of straight north-south avenues
• The Twin Peaks neighborhood, with it’s steep hills, has curvy streets with a wide variety of names

Data was loaded from a GeoJSON file provided by the City and County of San Francisco, visualized with a Line Layer (colored by the street type filter), and controlled with a radio button filter.
