This first aerial view of the Pleasure Bay area of Stone Harbor was in all probability taken sometime during the 1940s. The three vintage automobiles, hardly discernible here, appear when enhanced to be from the time of the 1940s. Looking west with the Great Channel in the distant background, we see a portion of Pleasure Bay with numerous waterfront homes. The Golden Gate Drive is visible running north-south near the top of this photo and the Corinthian Drive as well as the Sunset Drive are seen in the lower portion of this image. One thing that is quite apparent is the amount of green space and parcels of land that have not yet undergone housing development.

Picture of the Day Harlan’s History- Stone Harbor From Above
Featured here is a late 1960s aerial view of Stone Harbor encompassing the area roughly between 100th Street to 104th Street and focusing primarily on that part of town close to and overlooking the Great Channel. This image is derived from a picture post card that was published and available for sale in the early 1970s and we know that because this particular item was postmarked and mailed on July 20, 1972.
