2012 Map of Laurel
USGS Topo · Published 2012About this map
Bethany University and the historic Burrell School anchor this Santa Cruz Mountains landscape, which is defined by steep ridges and narrow gulches. The settlement of Laurel sits at the head of Laurel Creek, while the legacy of early transit is marked by Tunnel Number 2 and the Glenwood Cutoff. Industry and recreation are balanced throughout the terrain, from the Fidel Ranch and several youth camps like Saint Marys Girls Camp to the deep logging-era echoes found at Top of the Incline and Bottom of the Incline. Diverse water systems including Lake Elsman and Williams Reservoir serve the high country, while complex local roads like Loma Prieta Ave and Summit Rd navigate the winding divides between Skyland Ridge and Hinckley Ridge.
