1953 Map of Point Loma

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

San Diego and Coronado are depicted here during a period of massive mid-century naval and aviation expansion. The landscape is defined by the heavy footprint of the Marine Corps Recruit Depot and the San Diego Naval Air Station, which occupies a significant portion of the northern shore of San Diego Bay. To the west, the peninsula of Fort Rosecrans Military Reservation stands as a sentinel over the entrance to the harbor at Ballast Point.
