1961 Map of Cupertino

About this map

Sunnyvale and Cupertino undergo a significant transition in this mid-century survey, where orchards and open space give way to rapid suburbanization. The purple photorevision tint highlights the expansion of residential tracts across the valley floor, surrounding established sites like the Hospital San Anton and numerous local schools including Homestead High School and De Anza School. This period marks the arrival of the modern transportation network, showing the Junipero Serra Freeway and Stevens Creek Freeway cutting through the landscape to connect these burgeoning tech-sector suburbs.
