1955 Map of San Diego
USGS Topo · Published 1955About this map
Mission Bay and the surrounding coastline anchor this mid-century portrait of a region defined by its rapid expansion and heavy military presence. The urban footprint of San Diego stretches from the shore inland toward the foothills, with established neighborhoods like La Jolla and National City connected by major transit arteries such as U.S. 101 and the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe RR. The era's strategic importance is visible in the sprawling footprints of Miramar Naval Air Station, North Island Naval Air Station, and Camp Pendleton Military Reservation.
