Looking Back : Images from the Archives
*
This aerial image shows Mountain View ’ s North Bayshore district in the 1960s . The Bayshore Highway ( US 101 ) runs along the left side of the image and the salt ponds of the San Francisco Bay are on the upper right . The white asterisk * marks the marshlands that are now the site of Shoreline Sailing Lake . The dark fields of farmland in the center are now largely occupied by the Googleplex . The rural residential area visible below the farm fields were redeveloped with office parks in the 1980s . The large paved area at the bottom center is the Moffett Drive In movie theater , now the site of Mountain View ’ s Cinemark Century 16 cineplex . Just to the left of the drive in is a large warehouse and construction yard which at the time was the headquarters of Arrow Dynamics , a major amusement park ride manufacturer . The road running diagonally on the right is Stierlin Road , now named North Shoreline Boulevard . The lone red tile roof building on the right side of Stierlin was home to Whisman Elementary School .
