Richard Donner has cited the paintings of Norman Rockwell as an influence on the film's visuals. There's a shot of Jimmy Olsen looking towards Hoover Dam from atop a nearby canyon outcrop which is framed similar to Rockwell's 1969 painting 'Glen Canyon Dam'.In the sequence after the missile hits the San Andreas Fault, several real locations are shown along the West Coast of America. These include the Hollywood sign in Los Angeles, the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, and the Hoover Dam in Nevada.The shot of Superman holding up the subterranean rock evokes the image of Atlas bearing the world on his shoulders in classical mythology.
