The origin of most longer lists of San Francisco hills is Hills of San Francisco,[3] a compilation of 42 San Francisco Chronicle columns, each describing one of the city's hills. The "Hills" chapter of Gladys Hansen's San Francisco Almanac[4] repeated the list given in Hills of San Francisco and added the then-recently-named Cathedral Hill for a total of 43, but the "Places" chapter[5] listed many additional hills. More recent lists include more hills, some lesser-known, some not on the mainland, and some without names.[2][6][7]
