1956 Map of Hunters Point

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

The US Naval Reservation at Hunters Point dominates the northwestern corner of this maritime-focused survey, showcasing the industrial and military infrastructure along the San Francisco Bay during the mid-20th century. Street grids like Evans Ave and Innes Ave terminate at the naval facility, while the surrounding waters are marked by essential navigational features including Pt Avisadero and the extensive San Bruno Shoal. To the south, the early footprint of the San Francisco International Airport is visible, linked to the bay's deep-water commerce via the San Bruno Channel and Oyster Point Channel. The map also captures significant shoreline modifications, detailing a large Dredged Area and Spoil Area that illustrate the post-war expansion of the bay's urban and industrial shoreline near Bay Farm Island.
