About this map

Big Basin Redwoods State Park and Portola State Park dominate this mid-century landscape in the Santa Cruz Mountains. The terrain is defined by the steep ridges of Butano Ridge and Ben Lomond Mtn, with a network of fire trails and dirt roads like China Grade and Empire Grade providing access through the dense forest. In the heart of the redwoods, the Park Headquarters includes the local post office, while the Sempervirens Reservoir and Blooms Creek support the park's early infrastructure.
