About this map

North Island Naval Air Station and the sprawling military infrastructure of Fort Rosecrans dominate the entrance to North San Diego Bay in the early 2010s. This survey details the complex maritime and aviation landscape of the peninsula, stretching from the Old Point Loma Lighthouse at the southern tip up through the established neighborhoods of Roseville and Loma Portal. Across the water, the urban grid of San Diego and Coronado is linked by the massive San Diego-Coronado Bay Bridge, reflecting a century of coastal development.

The map highlights significant cultural and recreational hubs, including the dense gardens and theaters of Balboa Park such as the Starlight Bowl and Japanese Friendship Garden. To the south, the narrow geography of the Silver Strand leads toward the residential developments of Coronado Cays, while the industrial waterfront is defined by the Tenth Avenue Marine Terminal and numerous piers servicing the naval and commercial needs of the Pacific fleet.
