1955 Map of Big Basin

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

Big Basin Redwoods State Park and the Santa Cruz Mountains define this landscape, where the Park Headquarters served as a central hub for the redwood groves and rugged canyon terrain. The map details a transition from protected forest lands to small mountain settlements and industrial sites. To the east, the San Lorenzo River corridor is punctuated by communities like Riverside Grove, Wildwood, and Forest Park. Evidence of local industry and infrastructure is visible at the Sawmill near Waterman Gap and the Quarry in the south, reflecting the region's historical reliance on timber and natural resources.
