1956 Map of Hunters Point

About this map

Hunters Point and its massive US Naval Reservation dominate the northwestern shore of San Francisco Bay in this mid-century survey. The map details the industrial and military footprint at Pt Avisadero, where streets like Innes Ave and Evans Ave meet the shoreline. To the south, the early footprint of the San Francisco International Airport is visible, situated along the edge of the bay near the San Bruno Channel. This sheet captures the complex maritime environment of the era, defined by navigation markers such as the San Bruno Shoal, Oyster Point Channel, and a significant Dredged Area near Bay Farm Island. The intricate web of corporate and county boundaries highlights the jurisdictional divisions across the water, including those of Oakland and South San Francisco.
