About this map

Marina sits at the edge of the Pacific Ocean, where the coastal dunes meet the agricultural and military history of Monterey County. This modern survey illustrates the transition of the former Fort Ord lands, now featuring the California State University of Monterey Bay campus and the preserved open spaces of Parker Flats and Welch Ridge. The transportation network is a central theme, with the Salinas River meandering toward the coast near the railroad junctions of Lapis Siding and Neponset.

Evidence of the area's specialized economy and military past is visible in the presence of the South Parade Ground, Artillery Hill, and the nearby Marina Municipal Airport. To the north, the small settlements of Nashua and the Hennekens Ranch reflect the enduring agricultural character of the Salinas Valley. The map also documents the recreation and infrastructure that define the contemporary landscape, from the Fort Ord Golf Course to the intricate residential street patterns branching off Reservation Rd and Imjin Pkwy.
