1954 Map of Point Bonita

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

Point Bonita and its historic Lighthouse stand as the primary sentinels at the entrance to the Golden Gate in this mid-1950s survey. The landscape is heavily defined by cold-war era coastal defense, showing the expansive footprints of the Fort Cronkhite Military Reservation and Fort Barry Military Reservation guarding the Bonita Channel. Across the water, the northwestern edge of San Francisco is meticulously gridded, featuring the northern reaches of Golden Gate Park and landmarks such as the Cliff House near Point Lobos.
