1955 Map of Big Basin

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

Big Basin Redwoods State Park and Portola State Park dominate this landscape within the Santa Cruz Mountains, illustrating the conservation and recreational development of the mid-20th century. The presence of Park Headquarters (Big Basin PO) serves as a focal point for the region's managed wilderness, while scattered settlements like Riverside Grove, Redwood Grove, and Wildwood along the San Lorenzo River indicate small clusters of community growth amidst the timber. A notable institutional presence is found at Camp Ben Lomond (California Youth Authority) to the south.
