1955 Map of Chittenden

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

The San Andreas Rift Zone carves a distinct geological signature through this terrain, where the Santa Clara, Santa Cruz, and San Benito county lines converge. The landscape is defined by the transition from the southern Santa Clara Valley floor into the Santa Cruz Mountains and the Sargent Hills. Natural hydrology is a prominent feature, with the Pajaro River flowing through the critical Pajaro Gap at Chittenden Pass. Settlement patterns here follow the infrastructure of the Southern Pacific railroad and major roadways like U.S. 101, supporting small communities such as Sargent, Chittenden, and River Oaks. Notable institutional and industrial features include Gavilan Junior College near Gilroy and the extractive operations at the Quarry near Quarry Lake, illustrating the mid-century intersection of education, transportation, and industry in this geologically active corridor.
