About this map

The San Andreas Fault cuts through this landscape where the Santa Cruz Mountains meet the Santa Clara Valley, defining the structural geology of the region. The map captures the southern edge of Gilroy and the historic site of Old Gilroy, along with the transition into the Lomerias Muertas hills. This area serves as a significant drainage junction where Uvas Creek and Llagas Creek converge into Carnadero Cr, which eventually meets the Pajaro River near the Chittenden Pass.

Infrastructure and education are central to the map, featuring the sprawling campus of Gavilan College and the primary transit corridors of Monterey Rd and Chittenden Rd. Small rail-side and roadside localities like Sargent, Corporal, and Miller are documented, while water features such as Anzar Lake, Quarry Lake, and Sada Lake provide markers for land use and local hydrology. The terrain is deeply varied, ranging from the flat valley floor to the steep drainages of Wildcat Canyon and Ousley Canyon.
