1991 Map of Mountain View

About this map

Naval Air Station Moffett Field dominates the central landscape of this South Bay survey, showcasing the massive hangars and airfield infrastructure that defined the region's mid-century military footprint. To the north, the intricate network of Salt Evaporators and winding sloughs like Mowry Slough and Alviso Slough meet the waters of San Francisco Bay. This industrial and natural interface contrasts sharply with the burgeoning suburban density of Mountain View, Palo Alto, and Sunnyvale. The transport corridors are well-defined, from the Southern Pacific railroad lines to the Bayshore Freeway, illustrating the post-war transition from agricultural orchards to the tech-driven Silicon Valley hub. Educational institutions like Ohlone Sch and Leland Stanford Middle Sch are scattered throughout the residential blocks, providing a clear view of the community's mid-90s layout.
