This near-vertical photograph features San Diego, once a quiet Navy town and now the nation’s sixth largest city, whose economy is built on aerospace, scientific research, and tourism. Discernible are the runways of North Island Naval Air Station at the north end of the Coronado Peninsula; Point Loma to the west; and the extrusion into the Pacific Ocean of Soledad Mountain (the location of La Jolla) to the north. The Coast Range appears from bottom left to top left, and Tijuana, Mexico, is visible near the top right of the photograph.
