1955 Map of Laurel

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

The San Andreas Rift Zone cuts a distinct path through the Santa Cruz Mts in this mid-century survey, defining the complex landscape of the Soquel Augmentation. The map captures a period of transition for several mountain communities, documenting the infrastructure of settlements like Laurel, Glenwood, and Skyland. Local transport and industry are anchored by the winding Old San Jose Road and the remnants of the Southern Pacific RR (Abandoned), which once served the timber and agricultural needs of the region.
