1956 Map of Hunters Point

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

Hunters Point and its massive US Naval Reservation dominate the northwestern shoreline in this mid-century survey of the San Francisco Bay waters. This maritime study focuses heavily on the deep-water infrastructure and industrial shoreline, where India Basin and the Lash Lighter Basin reflect the heavy naval and shipping presence near Pt Avisadero. To the south, the early footprint of the San Francisco International Airport is visible, joined by a network of dredged corridors including the Oyster Point Channel and San Bruno Channel. These markings, alongside the Dredged Area and Spoil Area, illustrate the intensive engineering required to maintain the bay's shipping lanes and aviation facilities. The map also traces complex corporate and county boundaries that intersect in the open water between San Francisco, Alameda Co, and San Mateo Co.
