1955 Map of Laurel

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

The San Andreas Rift Zone slices diagonally through the Santa Cruz Mountains on this mid-century survey, revealing a landscape defined by sharp ridges and deep gulches. Small, tucked-away communities like Laurel and Skyland appear along the steep terrain, connected by the Southern Pacific railroad line and the winding Old Glenwood Road. This era shows a transition in land use, where educational and religious sites such as Bethany Bible College and the St Clare Retreat sit alongside active extraction sites like the Olive Spring Quarry.
