About this map

The San Francisco peninsula and the surrounding Bay Area appear in high detail during the late mid-century, showcasing a landscape defined by intensive coastal development and massive military infrastructure. Major naval and army installations like Hunters Point Naval Shipyard, Alameda NAS, and the Presidio Mil Res anchor the mouth of the bay, while the Golden Gate Bridge and San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge facilitate the expanding suburban reach into San Mateo and Alameda County.
