About this map

The coastal hamlet of Davenport sits at the base of the Santa Cruz Mountains, where the industrial legacy of Cement Plant Rd meets the Pacific shore. This 2018 survey documents a landscape of dramatic elevation changes, from the sea-level wetlands of Scott Creek Marsh to the heights of Ben Lomond Mtn and Bald Mtn. The settlement pattern reflects the area's geography, with the inland community of Bonny Doon nestled among ridges and the private Bonny Doon Airport.

Water plays a central role in the topography, with numerous drainages like San Vicente Cr, Laguna Cr, and Scott Cr carving deep canyons through the coastal range. Notable landmarks include the prominent El Jarro Point and recreational stretches such as Scott Creek Beach and Bonny Doon Beach. The road network, including the winding Ice Cream Grade and Smith Grade, reveals how local travel has long been dictated by the complex ridges and gulches such as Deadman Gulch.
