Note: The plank road shown in this photograph is believed to be the only plank road on
Yerba Buena Island. Starting at Buildings 55 and 56 and terminating at the road
near Building 8. It is possible that the construction of the plank roadway was the
simplest method at that time to transverse the steep hillside.
