About this map

San Diego and the surrounding coastal communities are meticulously documented in this 2018 survey, which highlights the heavy military and maritime presence that defines the region. The map tracks the dense urban layout from Hillcrest and North Park down to the massive industrial and naval installations like NB San Diego and the North Island Naval Air Station / Halsey Field. The distinct geography of the Silver Strand and the residential layout of Coronado are shown in relation to the bustling Americas Cup Harbor and the protected waters of North San Diego Bay.

Significant cultural and educational landmarks are identified, including the Cabrillo National Monument at the tip of Point Loma and the historic Fort Rosecrans National Cemetery. The map also details specialized schools such as the Thomas Jefferson School of Law and the Newschool of Architecture and Design. Conservation areas like the San Diego Bay National Wildlife Refuge provide a stark contrast to the nearby urban sprawl and the massive San Diego International Airport.
