About this map

San Diego and Coronado anchor this coastal landscape during a period of significant mid-century infrastructure and military presence. The map documents the extensive naval and aviation footprint surrounding San Diego Bay, including the US Naval Air Station North Island and the U S Marine Corps Recruit Depot. On the rugged peninsula of Point Loma, the Fort Rosecrans National Cemetery and Cabrillo Nat Mon stand near the Old Lighthouse, marking the historic entrance to the harbor.

Transportation networks are well-defined, showing the San Diego-Coronado Bay Bridge (Toll) connecting the city to the peninsula. Neighborhoods like Ocean Beach, Hillcrest, and North Park show dense urban development, while the Silver Strand stretches south toward Coronado Cays. The sheet also captures major cultural landmarks such as Balboa Park, containing the San Diego Zoo, and institutional sites like Point Loma Nazarene College.
