Naval Air Station Moffett Field and its expansive Naval Reservation dominate the bayfront landscape, marking a period of intense military and technological presence in the South Bay. This mid-century survey reveals the rapid suburbanization of Mountain View, Palo Alto, and Sunnyvale, where new neighborhoods are seen filling the spaces between established orchards and the Southern Pacific tracks. To the north, the industrial character of the shoreline is defined by massive Salt Evaporators and winding tidal channels like Coyote Creek and Alviso Slough.
