    Camp Mather 1949 Plan

    This 1949 vintage report is a great reading full of ideas (some perhaps good, some perhaps bad) that were never implemented. This snapshot of mid-century optimism shows how much Camp Mather was valued, the high hopes for its future, and the plans the SF Rec Commission hoped to bring to fruition.
