1954 Map of Point Bonita

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

San Francisco's northwestern edge meets the Pacific at the Golden Gate, where the urban grid terminates at the Great Highway. This mid-century view shows the coastal transition from the city’s residential blocks, like those near Francis Scott Key Sch, to the open coastal landscape of Lincoln Park and the Cliff House. Across the water, the Sausalito Peninsula is dominated by federal and conservation lands, including the Fort Cronkhite Military Reservation and the Mt Tamalpais Game Refuge. The presence of the Lighthouse at Point Bonita and the extensive Cable Area highlights the maritime significance of this entrance to the bay. Established communities such as Sausalito and Marin City appear as the primary northern hubs, while the southern shore captures the curated greenery of Golden Gate Park before it meets the Pacific Ocean.
