About this map

Chula Vista and Imperial Beach dominate the coastal landscape of San Diego County in this late 1960s survey. The map details the intricate shoreline where San Diego Bay meets the extensive Salt Evaporators and the northern tip of the Tijuana River valley. A dense network of schools, such as Montgomery High Sch and Marian High Sch, indicates the rapid suburban expansion occurring between the historic city centers and the United States Mexico border.

Transportation infrastructure is a primary feature, with the Montgomery Freeway and the San Diego and Arizona Eastern RR cutting through settlements like Nestor and Palm City. Further south, the map documents the military presence at the Imperial Beach Naval Air Station and the US Naval Radio Station. Cultural landmarks, including the San Diego Country Club and the Mt Olivet Cem, provide important touchpoints for local family history and genealogical research.
