1967 Map of National City

About this map

The San Diego and Arizona Eastern RR winds through a landscape of rapid mid-century suburban expansion, connecting the dense urban cores of San Diego and National City to the eastern hills. The 1970s revisions, noted in purple, document the burgeoning infrastructure of South Bay as residential developments push into Sweetwater Valley and Paradise Valley. Prominent commemorative spaces like Holy Cross Cem, Mount Hope Cemetery, and Greenwood Memorial Park create large green breaks in the residential grid, while specialized sites like the Naval Radio Sta near Chollas Res point to the area's significant military and communications footprint.
