About this map

The San Lorenzo River serves as the central artery for this mid-century look at the Santa Cruz Mountains, winding past a string of established canyon settlements including Boulder Creek, Brookdale, Ben Lomond, and Felton. The landscape is defined by the transition from timber and early industrial sites, like the Sawmill and various quarries, to a region increasingly focused on recreation and education. This shift is evident in the concentration of youth camps and specialized institutions, such as Camp Wasibo, Mt Cross Camp, and the Blake-Hammond Manor School.
