1914 Map of Capitola

USGS Topo · Published 1947

About this map

The central California coast along Monterey Bay reveals a landscape defined by expansive Spanish land grants and a burgeoning rail-and-river economy in the years before World War I. Prominent rancho boundaries such as Bolsa Nueva y Moro Cojo and Laguna de las Calabasas dominate the interior, while the coastal strip shows the early development of Capitola and Aptos. The intricate network of sloughs, including Harkins Slough and Watsonville Slough, converges near the mouth of the Pajaro River, illustrating the complex drainage of the fertile valley floor around Watsonville.
