1947 Map of Marina

About this map

Fort Ord Military Reservation dominates the southern landscape of this 1947 coastal survey, illustrating the significant military footprint along Monterey Bay during the post-war years. The complex grid of barracks and training grounds stands in contrast to the developing community of Marina, where 1968 revisions (shown in purple) reveal significant urban expansion and the addition of a Drive-in Theater. Further inland, the map captures the transition from military use to local recreation at the Fort Ord Golf Course.
