1954 Map of Point Bonita

About this map

The Saucelito Peninsula and the northern reaches of San Francisco meet at the mouth of the Golden Gate, framing the critical maritime approaches of the Bonita Channel and South Channel. On the Marin side, the landscape is defined by coastal defense and preservation, with the Fort Cronkhite Military Reservation and Fort Barry Military Reservation occupying the strategic heights above Rodeo Cove. The presence of the Mt Tamalpais Game Refuge and Marin Headlands State Park suggests a rugged, undeveloped shoreline where features like Tennessee Cove and Pirates Cove remained largely untouched by the post-war suburban growth seen further inland at Marin City.
