Camp Shoemaker was also known as Fleet City. It served the Navy while Camp Parks next door served the Seabees. It was home to a 3,000-bed hospital and a Naval Training and Personnel Distrobution Center. The last remnants of Camp Shoemaker -- foundations of the former warehouses diagonally positioned northwest to southeast as seen in the topographic view above -- have been completely removed in this updated view. Nothing remains of the old Navy camp, although some of the roads in this area follow the path of the former Southern Pacific spur line's right-of-way.
