1967 Map of La Jolla

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

San Diego is portrayed here during a period of massive mid-century suburban expansion, showing the dense residential growth of Clairemont, Linda Vista, and Serra Mesa before they were fully built out. The coastal geography is dominated by the complex waterways of Mission Bay, including Fiesta Island and Vacation Isle, which reflect the area's transformation into a major recreation hub. Higher education and research are central to the landscape, anchored by the University of California San Diego and the Scripps Institution of Oceanography along the northern coast. To the east, the Miramar Naval Air Station and the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad indicate the critical roles of military presence and transit infrastructure. This map captures the city just as the modern freeway system, including the San Diego Freeway and Cabrillo Freeway, was redefining connectivity between historic neighborhoods like Old Town and the rising University City.
