Gilroy and the surrounding Santa Clara Valley appear during a period of expansion, with revisions showing the growth of industrial and residential zones as the 20th century progressed. The geography is defined by the convergence of the Santa Cruz Mountains and the Lomerias Muertas, where the Pajaro River carves through the Chittenden Pass. This narrow corridor serves as a vital transportation bottleneck, carrying the Southern Pacific tracks alongside the river.
