About this map

Big Basin Redwoods State Park and Portola State Park dominate this mid-century survey of the Santa Cruz Mountains, revealing a landscape defined by preservation and mountain recreation. The area around Park Headquarters (Big Basin PO) serves as a hub for numerous creeks and canyons, including Opal Creek and Waddell Creek. Residential and social pockets like Riverside Grove, Wildwood, and the Boulder Creek Golf and Country Club cluster along the San Lorenzo River, while the high ridges are marked by old thoroughfares like China Grade and the Empire Grade.
