2015 Map of La Honda

About this map

La Honda and its surrounding mountain hamlets occupy this deeply etched landscape within the Santa Cruz Mountains during the mid-2010s. The settlement pattern follows the narrow valleys of San Gregorio Cr and Pescadero Cr, where winding routes like La Honda Rd and Pescadero Rd connect isolated communities such as Bellvale, Redwood Terrace, and Loma Mar. High-elevation landmarks like Kelly Hill and Rays Peak overlook a complex drainage system that includes Pearsons Pond, Reflection Lake, and the Pomponio Reservoir. The southern reaches of the map are defined by the steep ascent toward Butano Ridge, while the northern edge touches the outskirts of Portola Valley along Skyline Blvd. Notable local landmarks like The Potato Patch and Worley Flat reveal the specific geographic nomenclature of this coastal range, where timber and transit have long shaped the human footprint.
