1961 Map of Calaveras Reservoir

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

The Calaveras Reservoir dominates the northern reaches of this landscape, its waters contained by a Diversion Dam and fed by Alameda Creek. To the south, the expansion of San Jose and Milpitas is evident in the detailed street grids and school sites like Rancho Milpitas Jr High Sch and Linda Vista Sch. The rugged uplands of Calaveras Ridge and Poverty Ridge contrast sharply with the suburban growth, housing the Calaveras Test Site and numerous quarries. Local recreation and land use are well-defined, showing the San Jose Country Club and the extensive grounds of Alum Rock Park, which follows the steep terrain of Alum Rock Canyon. This map captures a period of significant suburban development as it encroaches upon the historic Pueblo Lands of San Jose and the hills of Canada de Pala.
