USGS Topo · Published 1942About this map
Mission San Diego anchors the historical heart of this 1942 survey, situated just north of the Mission Valley floodplain. The landscape is defined by the transition from the dense urban grid of Normal Hts, Kensington Park, and East San Diego to the steep, canyon-cut terrain of the northern uplands. Educational and medical institutions of the era are prominent, including the sprawling campus of State College and the Rest Haven Preventorium.
