About this map

Point Loma defines the western edge of this coastal survey, where the rugged Sunset Cliffs meet the Pacific and the Fort Rosecrans National Cemetery overlooks the harbor entrance. The map documents a dense urban and military landscape during a period of significant post-war expansion. Extensive naval and aviation facilities dominate the central waterfront, including the US Naval Air Station North Island and the US Naval Training Center, which surround the San Diego International Airport (Lindbergh Field).

To the east, the grid of San Diego reveals established neighborhoods like Hillcrest, North Park, and South Park, bordering the expansive Balboa Park. Local life is detailed through numerous schools such as Point Loma High Sch and Dana Jr High Sch, and the emerging commercial presence of the Loma Square Shopping Center. The Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad and the San Diego-Coronado Bay Bridge Toll provide critical infrastructure linking the city to Coronado and the Silver Strand.
