Pacific Point, colloquially known as the City on the Bridge, is a settlement comprised of survivors from San Francisco, California.

Situated on the famous art deco Golden Gate Bridge, the citizens live in stacked containers, a readily available and easily assembled accommodation. Food is mainly sourced from fishing, but vegetables are also grown in hydroponic farms due to the lack of land. The residents live off what they can from scavenging, and energy resources such as fuel and gas are too scavenged from neighbouring towns. An array of solar panels also power the city, improving sustainability.

The city’s primary defence force is made up of a surviving force of the California National Guard and US Coast Guard originally stationed around the Bay Area, providing ample firepower, equipment, logistics, and a dependable chain of command for the city.

The bridge is routinely galvanised and painted to prevent corrosion and rust. However, after a couple of years, it was determined that the cost to upkeep the bridge was simply too exorbitant. Some of the residents moved inland, and an agreement to demolish half the bridge was reached. In 2025, the Marin section of the bridge was detonated, simultaneously reducing the resources used to maintain the bridge and cutting off a possible avenue of attack on the city.

The city is the largest settlement within the San Francisco Bay, with the smaller one sheltered within San Francisco International Airport.



Builder’s Notes:
1. The map is built in Minecraft Java 1.12.2. Make sure you're in this version when you download the map!
2. This project is a remaster of an old project of mine, submitted as an entry to the Skyscraper contest which won 2nd place. You can see it here!
3. The main feature of this build is the bridge city. As a result, I did not fully recreate the neighbouring Presidio of San Francisco.
4. The terrain features after a couple dozen years have been left to my own imagination, accounting for tree growth, erosion, and a rising sea level attributed to an irreversible climate change.
5. How the city came to be and the events that occured prior are all up to your own imagination. ;)
