This aerial photograph provides a detailed view of Mission Bay in San Diego, California, taken on August 21, 1956. The image was captured by the U.S. Navy's Fighter Photographic Squadron 61 (VFP-61), known for its reconnaissance missions. The photograph shows the progress in the development of Mission Bay Park, which was an ongoing project at the time. The park, originally a tidal marsh, was being transformed into a large aquatic recreation area, including man-made islands and inlets visible in the photograph. The image captures residential areas, major roadways, and the coastline. The scale of the image is approximately 1 inch to 750 feet, and it was taken at 2.0 feet tide at 1346 PST. The photograph's clarity allows for a detailed examination of the geographical and infrastructural developments.
Fiesta Island is yet to be created in the southeast of the Bay and much of the original marshland is still present. An ephemeral airstrip can be seen, with planes parked around it on what is now Sea World Drive.
