About this map

The San Andreas Fault cuts a sharp line through the Santa Cruz Mountains on this 2018 survey, marking the dramatic boundary between the valley floor and the rising ridges. The landscape is a dense suburban mosaic of Silicon Valley cities, including Cupertino, Sunnyvale, and Saratoga, where established neighborhoods meet the foothills. Smaller historic communities like Loyola Corners and Monta Vista appear alongside large institutional campuses such as De Anza College and West Valley College.

Transitioning from the developed basin, the terrain climbs toward Monte Bello Ridge and Table Mtn, where a network of recreational paths like the Seven Springs Loop Trail and Vista Loop Trail navigate the steep grades. Local history is anchored by the Gates of Heaven Cem and Madronia Cem, while numerous creeks including Stevens Cr, Permanente Cr, and Calabazas Cr drain the watershed toward the bay, illustrating the intricate drainage patterns of this high-tech corridor.
