1967 Map of National City
USGS Topo · Published 1970About this map
National City and the surrounding south San Diego suburbs are shown during a period of significant mid-century expansion. The landscape is defined by the canyon-and-mesa topography of Telegraph Canyon and Rice Canyon, which shaped the development of residential neighborhoods like Encanto and Lemon Grove. Vital infrastructure from this era is prominent, including the San Diego and Arizona Eastern Ry and the Naval Radio Sta, alongside the expanding footprint of the South Bay Freeway. Local community life is evidenced by numerous parochial and public schools, such as St Michaels Academy and O'Farrell Jr High Sch. Near the Sweetwater River, industrial activity is marked by Gravel Pits and the Sweetwater Res, while more established civic markers like Holy Cross Cem and the Museum of American Treasures anchor the older urban centers.
