1997 Map of Castle Rock Ridge

About this map

Santa Cruz County Mountains define the topography of this region, where the county line separates Saratoga and Monte Sereno from the wooded drainage basins to the south. The 1990s landscape is anchored by Castle Rock State Park, featuring landmarks like Summit Rock, Goat Rock, and Castle Rock Falls. The survey provides a clear view of the complex hydrology of the San Andreas Rift Zone Park, including the Lake Ranch Reservoir and the headwaters of Saratoga Creek. Cultural footprints range from the historic Villa Montalvo and its arboretum to the isolated Uncle Billys Cabin near Mount Bielawski. Along the eastern edge, the elevation drops toward the Lexington Res, passing the Lakeside Sch and small water bodies like Lake Cozzens. The winding route of Skyline Boulevard serves as the primary spine across the ridge, connecting these geological landmarks and conservation areas.
