1991 Map of La Honda

About this map

La Honda and its surrounding communities in the Santa Cruz Mts are defined by a complex landscape of creek drainages and ridges as they appeared in the early 1990s. The settlement pattern here is characterized by isolated clusters of development like Redwood Terrace and Loma Mar, interspersed with specialized institutions such as the Glenwood Boys Ranch and Woodhaven Camp. Water management and natural features dominate the interior, with Reflection Lake near the town center and the Pomponio Reservoir situated further west among the ridges. Notable industrial traces include Oil Wells located south of Kingston Cr, suggesting the historical extraction efforts in this part of San Mateo County. The map also records several family-named landmarks and distinct geological features like the Goat Hill Chalks and Burns Chalks, alongside the extensive network of local parks such as Memorial County Park and Sam McDonald County Park.
