1955 Map of Laurel

USGS Topo · Published 1994

About this map

The San Andreas Rift Zone slices diagonally through this part of the Santa Cruz Mts, defining a complex landscape of deep gulches and sharp ridges. Settlement patterns follow the winding paths of the Glenwood Highway and the Old San Jose Road, with small mountain communities like Laurel and Glenwood established along the rugged terrain. The presence of the Southern Pacific railroad line, including a notable tunnel near the historical marker, indicates the area's importance for transit and timber before mid-century.
