1949 Map of Montara Mountain

About this map

Montara Mountain dominates this coastal landscape, serving as a high-altitude spine between the burgeoning suburban developments of the Peninsula and the rocky Pacific shore. To the east, the post-war expansion of San Bruno, Millbrae, and Burlingame is clearly visible, concentrated along the Southern Pacific rail line and El Camino Real. The presence of the San Francisco International Airport on the bayside and the Half Moon Bay Airport to the south indicates the area's growing strategic importance for regional aviation during the late 1940s.
