About this map

Davenport and the surrounding Santa Cruz coast are defined by the meeting of the Pacific shoreline and the steep coastal mountains. This 2012 survey shows the industrial and agricultural character of the region, including Cement Plant Rd and the Big Creek Powerhouse. The landscape is etched with numerous steep drainages such as Deadman Gulch and San Vicente Cr, which flow from the high ridges of Bald Mountain down toward Scott Creek Beach.

Settlement patterns follow the narrow coastal terrace and the winding mountain roads. While Swanton and Davenport Landing reflect the area's early maritime and ranching history, the inland community of Bonny Doon represents the more modern residential expansion into the hills. Notable landmarks like the Bonny Doon Village Airport and Skyline Ranch are perched along the ridges, connected by a network of steep grades and named roads like Ice Cream Grade.
