About this map

San Diego Bay dominates this early 1940s landscape, serving as a hub for military and municipal activity just as the region became a critical defense center. The U S Naval Reservation spans the waters at Dutch Flat and North Island, while Fort Rosecrans Military Reservation occupies the heights of Point Loma. The street grids of Coronado and San Diego are detailed with meticulous care, noting the locations of several neighborhood landmarks like the Coronado Country Club and the seasonal Tent City along the Silver Strand.
