1955 Map of Otay Mesa

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

Brown Field Naval Auxiliary Air Station dominates the western mesa in this mid-1950s survey of the California-Mexico borderlands. This military installation and its adjacent Bombing Range reflect the Cold War aviation footprint in San Diego County, situated just north of the United States Mexico international boundary. The landscape transitions from the flat expanse of Otay Mesa to the high ridges of the San Ysidro Mountains, where various canyons like La Nacion Canyon and O'Neal Canyon carve through the terrain.
