1955 Map of Big Basin

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

Big Basin Redwoods State Park and the high ridges of the Santa Cruz Mountains define this landscape during the mid-1950s. The area is characterized by dense coastal forest, intersected by a network of creeks including Pescadero Creek and Waddell Creek. Significant infrastructure for recreation and forestry is evident, from the Park Headquarters (Big Basin PO) to the China Grade road system. Along the eastern edge, the San Lorenzo River valley shows a cluster of mid-century vacation and residential settlements like Riverside Grove, Wildwood, and Redwood Grove.
