1914 Map of Capitola
USGS Topo · Published 1940About this map
The northern arc of Monterey Bay provides a dramatic backdrop for this pre-war coastal landscape, where the Southern Pacific Railroad links the shoreline communities of Capitola, Aptos, and Watsonville. The map illustrates a complex hydraulic environment along the Santa Cruz and Monterey County line, where numerous sloughs such as Harkins Slough and Watsonville Slough weave through the Bolsa Del Pajaro. This area reflects an era of intensive land grants and agricultural development, evidenced by the large ranchos like Bolsa De San Cayetano and the scattered rural education network, including San Andres School and Beach School.
