2015 Map of Long Beach OE S

About this map

Long Beach waterfront infrastructure and the vast maritime landscape of San Pedro Bay define this coastal study. The map documents the heavy industrial and logistical footprint of Terminal Island, where a network of piers and service roads like Navy Way and Nimitz Rd support one of the nation's busiest port complexes. The geography transitions from these engineered harbor facilities toward the recreational and residential shoreline of the Alamitos Peninsula in the east. Beyond the harbor breakwaters, the expanse of the Pacific Ocean is marked by the nautical routes of the Avalon-Long Beach Fry and related ferry lines, which connect the mainland to offshore destinations. This digital-era survey highlights the late-twentieth-century expansion of the harbor through large-scale land reclamation projects, notably seen in the configuration of Pier J Ave and the surrounding terminal expansions.
