This attractive and detailed bird's-eye view by Jack Moffett extends from San Diego east to Palm Springs, the Salton Sea, Yuma, and the Colorado River. There is fine detail of the street-grid pattern and neighborhoods within the San Diego metro area, extending from La Jolla south to Imperial Beach and east to El Cajon. Sites of interest around San Diego Bay include the airport, various naval properties including the amphibious base, and the Yacht Harbor. The Rumsey Collection notes that "the map serves as an important historical document, illustrating the landscape and urban design of San Diego fifty years ago. It provides insights into the planning and expansion of urban areas during that era…. Additionally, it stands as a piece of cartographic art, merging functionality with aesthetic appeal.” Published by Cooper Graphics in La Jolla.
