1954 Map of Novato

About this map

The sprawling facilities of Hamilton Air Force Base dominate the marshlands along the eastern edge of this mid-century survey, reflecting the era's significant military presence in Marin County. Further inland, the community of Novato is shown just as postwar suburban expansion begins to shape the valley floor, with neighborhoods like Novato Heights appearing alongside established landmarks such as the Grant Ave School and Hill School. The rugged western terrain of San Pedro Ridge and Canada De Herrera remains largely undeveloped, defined by landmarks like Big Rock and the winding Lucas Valley Road.
