2018 Map of Gilroy

About this map

The Santa Clara Valley serves as a corridor for settlement and agriculture, framed by the heights of the Diablo Range and the Santa Cruz Mountains. This 2018 survey detail shows the urban growth of Gilroy and Morgan Hill along the valley floor, connected by the smaller communities of San Martin, Rucker, and Lonoke. The landscape is a mix of dense residential networks and open drainage systems, where Miller Slough and the Uvas Creek intersect the outskirts of the primary settlements. Genealogists and local historians can find significant landmarks such as the Independent Order of Oddfellows Cemetery and Saint Marys Cemetery, while the presence of the San Martin Airport highlights the region's infrastructure. To the east, the terrain rises sharply toward Larios Peak and Coyote Lake, illustrating the topographical boundary between the developed valley and the steep ridges of the Palassou Ridge.
