1961 Map of Calaveras Reservoir

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

The Calaveras Reservoir dominates the northern landscape of this region, serving as a primary water source surrounded by the high ridges of Oak Ridge and Poverty Ridge. To the southwest, the transition from the rugged Los Buellis Hills into the expanding suburban reaches of San Jose and Milpitas is clearly visible. This area includes the historic Pueblo Lands of San Jose and the sprawling Alum Rock Park, which features Mineral Springs and numerous hiking trails along Penitencia Creek. Educational development in the early 1960s is evidenced by several campuses, including Rancho Milpitas Jr High Sch and Piedmont Hills High Sch. The map also captures the industrial footprint of the era, noting several Quarries and a Gravel Pit along the Arroyo de los Coches, reflecting the local demand for construction materials during the post-war boom.
