1955 Map of Davenport

About this map

Ben Lomond Mountain dominates this coastal landscape, where the Santa Cruz mountains meet the Pacific Ocean. This mid-century survey reveals a corridor defined by industrial extraction and community hubs, from the prominent Cement Plant and Davenport Landing to the inland settlements of Swanton and Bonnie Doon. The presence of the Southern Pacific railroad along the shoreline highlights the era's transport network, while multiple quarries and a Mill along San Vicente Creek point to the area's active resource economy.
