1956 Map of Hunters Point

About this map

The US Naval Reservation at Hunters Point anchors the industrial shoreline of this mid-century survey, reflecting the heavy maritime and military infrastructure of the mid-20th century. This edition, photorevised in 1980, reveals the deep-water engineering required for the bay's commerce, including the Dredged Area and various navigational routes like the Oyster Point Channel and San Bruno Channel. The map documents the interface between the urbanized San Francisco waterfront and the expanding transportation hubs to the south.
