1950 Map of San Diego
USGS Topo · Published 1954About this map
San Diego and its sprawling coastal suburbs are presented here during a period of significant mid-century expansion. The urban core around San Diego Bay is anchored by critical infrastructure, including Lindbergh Field and the North Island Naval Air Station, while the Peninsula of San Diego protects the harbor. Inland, the landscape rises sharply into the Cleveland National Forest, where a network of water resources such as El Capitan Reservoir and Morena Lake serve the growing population. The map provides a unique cross-border perspective, extending south from the United States-Mexico boundary to include Tijuana and the rugged coastal terrain leading toward Real del Castillo. This international view highlights the shared geography of the region, from the Rio Tijuana valley to the offshore Islas Coronado.
