1955 Map of Castle Rock Ridge

About this map

Castle Rock Ridge defines the high country along the Santa Clara and Santa Cruz county line during the mid-1950s. This survey reveals a landscape of deep gulches and steep ridges dotted with isolated institutions and camps, including Alma College and Stuart Camp. The presence of Uncle Billys Cabin near Bielawski Mtn and various named features like Grizzly Rock and Beatty Slide indicate a region shaped by early settlers and mountaineers. Educational life is anchored by rural landmarks such as Montezuma School, Lakeside School, and Browns School. Movement through these mountains relies on winding routes like Skyline Boulevard and Bear Creek Road, while water management is visible at Lake Ranch Reservoir and the Howell Reservoirs. The lower elevations show the community of Boulder Creek and the Felton Guard Station, marking the intersection of wilderness and settlement.
