About this map

Point Loma stands as the sentinel of San Diego Bay, defining the western edge of one of the Pacific coast's most significant deep-water harbors. This modern topographic record details the dense urban and military infrastructure of the early 21st century, from the sprawling North Island Naval Air Station /Halsey Field/ to the high-density neighborhoods of Hillcrest and Barrio Logan. The map highlights the area's maritime and aviation importance, centering on the San Diego International Airport and the complex of harbors such as Americas Cup Harbor.

South of the city, the San Diego-Coronado Bay Bridge links the mainland to the city of Coronado, while the Silver Strand stretches toward the southern reaches of the bay. Historical and cultural landmarks are prominently labeled, including the Cabrillo National Monument at the southern tip of the peninsula and educational institutions like the San Diego City College and the Thomas Jefferson Sch of Law in the city's core.
