1914 Map of Capitola
USGS Topo · Published 1922About this map
Soquel Cove and the sweep of northern Monterey Bay anchor this early 20th-century survey of the Santa Cruz and Monterey county coastlines. The Southern Pacific railroad is the primary engine of development here, threading through seaside towns from Capitola and Aptos down toward the agricultural hub of Watsonville. The landscape is a complex network of coastal lagoons and sloughs, including Schwan Lagoon and the extensive Elkhorn Slough near Moss. Large historic land divisions such as Los Corralitos and Bolsa de San Cayetano reflect the region's heritage of Spanish and Mexican land grants. Rural life is evidenced by numerous local institutions like Liveoak School and Calabasas School, while industrial activity is noted at Port Watsonville and Camp Goodall, where shipping and rail met the Pacific.
